Well Rosi its not easy without a mouse but if you can get back into Device Manager. Use the Windows button to press Start. Use the cursor buttons to scroll up to Settings then across to Controla Panel. Use the Tab key to move around the different parts. Move down to System and press enter. When the main screen has focus use the cursor keys to come down to Mouse and press the + to expand it. Then move down to what should be installed/used and press Alt+R to show the properties. Then you use the Tab key the cursor keys to Drivers then Update driver button. Move down to Display a list of all drivers in a specific location, so you can select the driver you want click Next. If you can't see anything compatible then click on Show all hardware, click Next. That should show a list of drivers and models In mine its a PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port which uses VMM32.VXD, MSOUSE.VXD, and MOUSE.DRV drivers. Which should be installed as standard. Find a suitable mouse the click Next because you don't have your own drivers.

There are plenty of sites you can download it from. You have to be careful what you search for there are a lot of Win3.1 mouse.drv out there. I would think that Win98 would suit. Its a pity this forum isn't like the 50 other forums I use. I could zip and post that file to you. Now I don't know how long she wants to use WinME. To me its the worst operating system M$ ever made. She might be better of doing a search on eBay. I bought my genuine WinME CD (unused still sealed) of there for £15 last year. I've been a lover of Win98SE for 9 years and 5 years ago I was given a copy of Win98 to WinME upgrade. I tried it for a month didn't like it so the good old Win98SE went back. I've just bought a new computer a couple of weeks ago so I'm getting used to WinXP.
