If you are using the Microsoft Mouse driver version 8.2a or earlier,
you may notice flickering dots on the screen when running MS-DOS Shell
in the graphics screen display mode or other MS-DOS-based applications
that use graphics video modes.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Mouse
driver versions 8.2a and earlier. This problem was corrected in
Microsoft Mouse driver version 9.0.
Note: The flickering dots seem to be more pronounced on display
adapters that use the ET4000 chip set, but not limited to this chip
set.
