I once had a problem with getting a serial mouse working on my early model
50CT. I had to go into Hardware Porfiles in System Properties in Win95 and
set up a new hardware profile. At boot, I got a DOS prompt that asked which
profile to boot. In. the new profile, I deleted the PS/2 Accupoint mouse
and added the serial mouse.
For some reason I've never managed to get the same thing set up in Win98.
It seems that even if I delete the PS/2 driver, the Accupoint mouse still
gets set up.
I did have luck at one point hitting F8 at boot with my 2nd hardware
profile, and then choosing the option for a "step by step" boot. As each
item loaded, I said 'yes', until I got to the two PS/2 drivers (I forget
their names). I just said 'no' to loading those. But my Win98
installation, as others may have experienced, has a few little bugs like
this that I've just decided too live with.
