computer mouse help

ok, been having problems with my parent’s computer(win98). the mouse pointer is non existant. i checked out the driver and it says the “mouse.vxd” file is creating an error in loading the mouse drivers. i reinstalled the mouse driver just in case that was the problem, and also ran windows setup, but it didn’t help. any ideas?

buy a new mouse… learn short cut keys on keyboard

thanks for the quick reply whitey, but its not the mouse. i tried a different mouse

serial port? ps2 port? usb?

ps2 port mouse

try usb mouse

the message in the device manager box is “windows cannot load vmouse.vxd which loads the device drivers” it says to run windows setup again, but it doesn’t help. i’m thinking that its not a driver problem, its something within windows

Windows 98 is pretty old… :hs:

try telling my dad that… his computer won’t run anything newer

just toss a ram chip in that machine and xp it… i run xp on a p2 233 w/64. works.

i told him to throw some ram in there and he could run xp, but he doesn’t want to. anyway, i found this help in the microsoft knowledge base and it worked!!! thanks for the help.
