Mouse Problem
Hi,
I have windows 98 in my PC. I use serial logitech mouse. The problem is whenever i restart the machine the mosue does not work. Then i go to the system manager, remove the COM 1 and when i restart the machine it works. Then again after shutting it down and when i restart it does not work. Again i have to do the same, going to system manager and removing it etc... I tried connecting the mouse in COM 2. But the problem did not solve. It was still the same. There is no conflict in IRQ. Could anyone give me a solution ... please ? |

Try this:
Shut down. disconnect printer if on LPT port. Disconnect mouse. Disconnect any peripheral that uses LPT or COM ports. Restart, holding down the Ctrl key (or F8 sometimes works better) until you see the Startup menu. The timing is tricky, and you may need to repeatedly press the key instead of holding it down, in order to avoid a Stuck Key error. (Can also simply use MSCONFIG, Advanced button to "Enable Startup Menu" before shutting down.) At the Startup Menu, choose Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode, go to Device Manager. Remove ALL ports and any devices that use them. This typically includes modem (even an internal modem), related modem devices like PCI Enumerator and Wave Device for Modem (in Sound section), printer(s), and mouse, of course. Might also include a scanner if connected via LPT. Look, while you're there, for duplicated entries in any of Device Manager. It is typical to find duplicate entries in the System and USB sections, but in any case, write all of them down and report back here with the list (just the duplicated items.) When you're finished cleaning up, restart and let Windows reinstall the ports. When it gets to the Desktop, shut down. Attach the mouse and restart. Try a few restarts to test. Eventually, you'll want to shut down, re-connect printers and other peripherals, restart and reinstall whatever is left to reinstall. -- Gary S.

I was simply covering the possible cases with examples. *If* any of the
devices I mentioned are present, you would need to consider them. The main purpose, here, is to remove *all* ports, and the mouse (if more than one, *all* mouse devices that are listed) in Safe Mode Device Manager. But when doing that, you must remove all other items that depend on those ports as well. Else when the ports are reinstalled, the items that depend upon them may no longer be properly configured. -- Gary S.
