It isn't clear whether you are using a PS2 mouse or a USB mouse.

USB mice are usually software driven and controlled. But PS\2 Mice are controlled by the hardware. Try a PS\2 mouse instead if you've been having problems with a USB mouse, or vice versa.

Secondly, try this:

1. Open the System Configuration Utility, by going to START > RUN and typing MSCONFIG.EXE in the "Open" box, then clicking "OK".

2. On the SYSTEM.INI tab of that System Configuration Utility:

(a) Firstly, double-click on [boot.description] and check that the following line exists in that section, and that it is ticked, (add it and tick it if necessary), then reboot -

mouse.drv=Microsoft Mouse

(b) Secondly, if the fault persists after the reboot, double-click on [boot] and check that the following line exists in that section, and that it is ticked, (add it and tick it if necessary), then reboot -

mouse.drv=mouse.drv

(c) Thirdly, if the fault still persists after the second reboot, double-click on [386Enh] and check that the following line exists in that section, and that it is ticked, (add it and tick it if necessary), then reboot -

mouse=*vmouse, msmouse.vxd
