Yep. If it's a USB mouse, it won't. Safe Mode doesn't load many drivers,
USB drivers being among them. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

There may though be a setting in the BIOS that if enabled will allow a usb
mouse to be used when in Safe Mode. -- Mike Richard G. Harper wrote: Yep. If it's a USB mouse, it won't. Safe Mode doesn't load many drivers, USB drivers being among them.

I couldn't really find anything in the bios that i knew to
change to get the drivers to load. I do have a usb mouse. I guess if i need to use safe mode the only thing to do is work the best i can with the keyboard?

Look for a setting to enable "USB legacy" devices.
Either that, or buy a cheap PS/2 mouse to hook up when you need one in Safe Mode. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.
