H E L P ...!
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following, probably simple question:
- I have Pentium II (Intel genuine) and have recently installed Windows XP Home Edition on my second Hard Drive which I dedicated only to Video work, and I have setup my PC as a DUAL BOOT System - together with Windows 98 SE.
- I had no problems with the XP-Windows installation, and because of that I probably made a mistake in trusting too much the XP-Windows in reliably handling installation of older Programs from Windows 98 SE - namely LOGITECH MouseWare Ver 8.0 used for the mouse. Because the Standard Microsoft mouse driver/Program was lacking some of the practical features of the 'Logitech' Program which I'm using with the Windows 98 SE, I decided to install it also on the newly installed XP-Windows drive: this unfortunately resulted in mouse-freezing and the mouse becoming completely unoperational.
- I assume that this problem normally should not be very difficult to fix, however, I found out that all the 'Safe Mode', 'Recovery Console', 'Debug' and about 10 other options on the Booting menu using the F8 or CONTROL-key during booting proved to be a TOTAL FAILURE, because I can't even find a way to UNINSTALL the Logitech MouseWare without the use of the mouse in the XP-Windows ...! In previous Window versions we could do the 'uninstallation' (and similar repairs) at the DOS prompt but the crazy Microsoft Programmers decided in XP Windows to provide NO help to the users in this situation - while running a DUAL BOOT System and having no chance to use the mouse.
- NOTE: The reason why the 'Recovery Console' failed to work for me is probably because this 'Repair Module' has to be installed manually after the XP-Windows installation - am I right...?
Any advice ASAP would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS, guys ...!
