Win98SE msmouse.vxd

[Charles]

I started my 233Mz and noticed it took forever to boot up and ended up booting in safe mode. So I decided to do a "step by step" boot up and found out when it loads msmouse.vxd it takes forever and hard drive keeps working for a while until it now boots up not in safe mode but normal. However it still takes forever to boot up and it is the msmouse.vxd. So I looked under Win98SE OEM CD to see if that driver is there but couldn't see it. Maybe it's zipped somewhere.

Last night I did REGClean for 98 and wonder if it moved this msmouse.vxd from where it's suppose to be. Anyway, does anyone has an idea on how to fix this extended boot up time associated when it loads msmouse.vxd? Thanks.

Should be in Windows > System .

Go back to a good copy of the registry .

Toggle F8 ( when , verifying DMI pool message comes on ) or Press
Ctrl during bootup , depends on your computer .

Select , Safe mode Command prompt

After the C prompt , type , scanreg /restore

Follow the prompts and select a registry dated prior to the problems .
