I deleted the duplicate drivers in safe mode; in same cases, there were more than
two of the same devices.
But, i still have NOT had any luck. There were NO duplicate mouse devices, however,
there were two different ones: PS/2 Compatabile Mouse Port & PS2 (PS/2). I've had
time to delete any of them, yet, though.
