I have an issue with a new 98SE install.
Windows loads though no mouse, serial, ps/2 or usb. An error Vmousr.vxd is occurring. How can I resolve this?

i'd try SFC, guess this guide is applicable: https://kb.iu.edu/d/agyz

once you got the file extracted you can also check the current file's checksum against the one from the CD (a known good one ideally), to verify that your current file is bad. rapidcrc can do this and runs under win98.

First check your system.ini, it may be corrupted or have something odd in it. If you see "rubbish" in the first lines delete those lines and save, then restart. Some 3rd party drivers not fully installed can cause weird things added to the start of system.ini.
