Mouse on my computer doesn't work.
Sometimes Windows 98 shows me a message
that it could detect my mouse. If I restart
my computer it back to detect.
Why?

what type of mouse do you have ? PS2 or Serial? If it is a serial mouse, the BEST chance is that the IRQ the mouse wants to use is taken (usually by the modem).....if it is a PS2 mouse, it could be the mouse is not plugged in firmly, it's a bad mouse or a bad PS2 connector on motherboard, or possibly an IRQ issue. Let us know what kind of mouse you have and answers will be forthcoming http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
You can find out if you have two devices trying to use one IRQ by going to "System Information".....it's located in Accessories/System Tools/System Information....lots of good stuff in there you can check!
