Solution:
You will need to replace the device driver file by making a new copy from your original Windows CD. Insert a Windows 98 Startup diskette in your computer’s floppy diskette drive and restart your computer. Once the startup process has begun, you will see a menu from which you should select Start Computer With CD-ROM Support. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type cd C:\ and press ENTER. Type cd windows\system and press ENTER. Next, type rename msmouse.vxd msmouse.old, and press ENTER. Now insert the Windows CD into the CD drive, type ext (to extract a file) and press ENTER. You will see a message that says: Please enter the path to the Windows CAB files. Enter D:\win98 (assuming your CD drive is labeled D:\) and press ENTER. Now you will see a message that asks for the name(s) of the files(s) you want to extract. Type msmouse.vxd and press ENTER again. The next message asks you for the path to extract to. Type C:\windows\system and press ENTER. The final message asks for confirmation; Type Y and press ENTER to complete the file extraction. Remove the Windows Startup disk and restart your computer. |
