I haven't had a chance to work on my Windows 98SE system for a while (a couple of months). But, this weekend I decided to hook it up . Unfortunately, I'm always greeted with a "Windows Mouse Support" window upon booting. Even though my keyboard works in the bios (USB keyboard with and without PS/2 adapter), both my mouse and keyboard fail to work at this prompt.
I have three hard drives all with Windows98SE installed and all worked before. But, all hard drives are experiencing the same issue.
I put a new battery in the motherboard (I've resolved strange issues doing this in the past).
I restored the registry. This sort of work. But as Windows was prompting for new "hardware", it became unresponsive.
I can access Safe Mode and everything (mouse and keyboard both via PS/2 and USB) as expected.

You can safely attach a serial mouse now.To attach a mouse to a PS/2 mouse port, you must first turn the computer off.
