Hi, I have a Pentium II machine running Win98 second addition. All
updates
are current. I have noticed that the mouse does not work in normal
operation, but when I am in "safe mode" it works. I find this puzzling
and
hope that someone can help resolve this. Thanks so much! Dr. Palpatine

Hold down a Windows key and press the Pause/Break key.

Click on Device Manager and select "View devices by connection"

Click the + sign to expand the BIOS tree

Hughlight the Mouse Port entry and click Properties,
then click Resources.

Is anything of significance shown in the Conflicting Devices List?
