Default Windows 98 Start up Problem

I am trying to debug a start up issue with Windows 98. When I start
up in "step by step" mode, I can get up to the point of loading the
Windows drivers. I load a number of drivers and get to the point of
loading the MSMOUSE driver. Whether I say Y or N, that is the last
item I respond to. The computer is then frozen. The computer will
start in safe mode. Thank you in advance for your thoughts and
guidance.

In safe mode...
go into the control panel...

under system...device manager


then delete all instances for mouse....
then reboot and hopefully windows will reinstall the mouse driver

If Philo's suggestion does not help, look at the possibility of a virus,
trojan, spyware, etc., being loaded at boot and causing the problem.
