Default LMOUSE boot problem

Exactly what entries pertaining to Logitech mice were in msconfig Startup tab?

Click StartRun, type MSINFO32 and click OK.
In the left pane of the System Information window, click the + sign to expand the
"Software Environment" category.
In the left pane, click to select "Startup Programs"....they will appear in a list
on the right.
Press Ctrl-A on the keyboard, which will highlight everything in the list on the
right.
Press Ctrl-C to copy the list to the 'clipboard'.
Open a reply to this message, click in the body of the message and press Ctrl-V to
paste the list from the clipboard to the message, and post back to this thread.


The files involved in loading a Logitech mouse are usually lmouse.drv, lmouse.vxd
and lmul.vxd

Look in this registry key for sub-keys named lmouse and lmul:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD

Export the entire key to a text file for backup (Registry menu Export), then delete
the lmouse and lmul sub-keys, if found. This should stop the drivers from being
called at boot.

When I boot my machine, I get the message "While initializing device
LMOUSE:" on an otherwise blank screen and the machine just hangs there.
Booting up in safe mode works and everything seems fine. Any hints
would be very gratefully received. Here's what I've done so far after
searching the discussion groups:

1. I ran msconfig and unchecked anything to do with lmouse. No joy.

2. I ran sysedit and put a ';' in from of the line with lmouse. No joy.

3. I removed the lmouse.vxd and lmouse.drv files from WINDOWS/SYSTEM.
Change - it now complains that it can't find the files and I need to
reinstall them. I do so from the CABs. No joy.

4. I booted in step by step mode and said no to the step which wanted
to handle the lmouse. At the end of the process the computer simply
rebooted itself. No error message, just sudden reboot.

More information:

I have tried a different mouse. No change.

I do not have a Logitech mouse. I am using the mouse that came with the
computer: Intellimouse 1.1a. I don't think we've had a Logitech mouse.
The other mouse we used for a while was an InterAct 2-button mouse.

There is no program to remove in the Add/Remove program utility that
appears to have anything to do with the Logitech stuff.

I have not updated/changed the system in the last few months.

Running Windows 98 on a Micron Millennia.

Thanks,

Steve
