Disabling the mouse stuff on a laptop

I have Windows 98 on my laptop. It is too old to put Windows XP on it. I am
not good at typing with a laptop. My wrist keeps unintentionally using the
mouse. I bought a wireless mouse but I cannot figure out how to disable the
mouse on my laptop. The wireless mouse is working fine but if I cannot
disable the mouse pad and buttons on the laptop then the wireless mouse is
not serving the purpose for which I bought it. Can anyone help me?

Click Properties Device Manager tab.
Expand Mouse by clicking the + next to it.
Double click the mouse listed you want to disable to open its properties.
Uncheck "Exists in all ...."
Place a check in "Disable....."
Click Ok Ok.

Debra,

Might want to reconsider the method used to display the table of contents on
your website. I can't see the last several items in that menu, and I can't
scroll down to force it to display, either.

Gary,

A resolution like 1152 x 864 will work on her site except that with my old
eyes, I then cannot read anything :-(

Oh I can see it at 1024x768, but then I'm cut to 256 colors. Makes Desktop
and Toolbar icons look weird.

It renders fine with Opera and Mozilla at a screen resolution of
1024x768.

Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

Renders fine here with IE at those resolutions. But try a lower set to see
the effect I'm referring to.

Someone else made my site and I don't know how to do that. For those who
cannot read it all they have to do is click View, Text Size and then switch
to Medium or Higher.

The only mouse to disable is the one that I bought. The laptop mouse is not
even listed to be able to change.

Boot to Safe Mode Device Manager and remove any/all devices listed under mouse.
Reboot and Windows will redetect/reinstall your mouse.
