I recently helped to reinstall Windows B for a friend of mine.
We had all sorts of problems getting his display to work correctly, but in
the end it was OK.
I rebooted the machine several times and still was all OK, so I left.

I have just had a phone call to say his mouse cursor has disappeared!!
Apparently his screen saver had frozen, he reset the machine, scandisk ran
(with loads of errors) and then he had no mouse.
He gets *no* error message to say the mouse isn't connected when Windows
starts.
I told him to F8 into safe mode which he did.
His mouse cursor is fine in safe mode.

The graphics card in question is an Intel 740 (?) AGP 'thing'.
I had to enable AGP support on the mo'board (installed drivers from mo'board
disk) before the card would work.
The instructions also said to install USB support from the Win95 CD, which I
did.

I am convinced it's something to do with this Intel AGP card installation.
Can anyone suggest a fix??

Many T'sIA
