I have these three utilities, mark and release and mapmem, and I frequently use them. Didn't think of trying them this time. Generally they work just fine when it comes to unloading TSRs. I solved the problem anyway, simply by not loading the mouse driver in the first place. I remarked out the line that loads the mouse driver in AUTOEXEC.BAT. This should not have been necessary. Unloading the mouse driver should have done the trick. Maybe if I had used mark and release I might have gotten better results.
