I've had such problems many times over the year.  Invariably, it always had
some relationship to the sound card.  If your problem is similar, there are
several things to try:

1.  Edit your autoexec.bat  to envoke a mouse driver BEFORE any existing
references to sound entries.  Many will claim that Windows 9x will automatically

"find" what mouse driver it needs.  While this is true (mainly), it does nothing
to
treat of your problem of conflicting addresses.

2.  Discover just which file is your Windows (or DOS) mouse driver, and replace
it with another, perhaps from a different version of Windows.  And, there exists

many 3rd party drivers as well.  Mouse drivers usually are not a critical
factor. Several
out of a bunch will work.

I'd be interested to know if either of these remedies helped.
