Default ps/2 mouse only works in safe mode, not normal mode

Hi!
I can only use my ps/2 mouse in safe mode. It does not work in Normal mode
at all. I'm running Windows 98 and up until a few weeks ago, the mouse
worked fine in Normal mode. I reloaded the mouse drivers but that hasn't
fixed the problem. I bought another ps/2 mouse, installed the driver and it
still won't work in Normal mode. I have one USB port and so today I tried a
USB mouse, to no avail. I've checked the Microsoft Support database and can
find articles on how to get your computer to run in Safe Mode, and what to do
if the mouse isn't working in Safe Mode, but nothing about the mouse not
working in Normal Mode but working fine in safe mode. Sorry if this is a
totally silly question. I *had* thought myself pretty computer -savvy, until
now. Thanks in advance for any advice/help you can give me!

dont fuss,;;;;; their is No such thing as 'computer savvy', but
rather only those who strive to know more and find out
they know less. (you'll meet many mvp's here who qualify)
comps' are as much a mystery here as they are anywhere in
the ether; but here trivial tips and hints and fixes are the nature
of the game...... but in the Global world of mankind, you'll find
nothing here offered that isnt already known.
