No Mouse in Safe Mode

When I boot into Safe Mode my mouse doesn't work.

I guess a mouse driver isn't getting loaded - so how do I fix this/

I'm running an older Toshiba notebook and the (not a wheel) mouse works fine when Win 98 boots normally.

When I look at the Mouse section in Device Mngr I see 2 entries (why do I need 2?) - one for an AccuPoint PS/2 and the other for SerialM (Com1). Under Properties for each of these, both "devices are working proprerly ".

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. No mouse driver is being loaded in Autoexec.bat or Config.sys

 

Never mind I did not read.

Hi I cannot understand why safe mode does not load a mouse driver.
Anyway, add this line to autoexec.bat
C:\Windows\mouse.com
If you do not have the file C:\autoexec.bat, save the above line via a text
editor to C:\autoexec.bat.
If this does not work, post back.
