Specifics of your system are needed. Motherboard, components, did cables come with motherboard, what kind or type of serial mouse, etc. If you also installed a modem, you may have to disable a serial port in the BIOS...

I just had the same problem this morning, What happened was win98 wont find the mouse even if I try to add it manually. My mistake was that I had the com port connector to the motherboard reversed. solution: check and make sure the cable from the comport to the motherboard is connected properly. Aziz
