In article blah, there was far to much text to post a quote!

My copy of Windows certainly works fine with no mouse control when the 
driver fails to load in fact it doesn't even generate an error message. 
Whilst installing my modem I discovered that I had a fault in my on 
motherboard COM2 so that I couldn't connect my modem and mouse at the 
same time.  I borrowed a friend's old I/O card but without the 
instruction manual :( and so had just about every combination of COM 
and Drive conflicts whilst I fiddled with jumpers until I got it to 
work.  Windows, however didn't have a problem with loading without the 
mouse even when there were conflicts with the COM ports.  So it seems 
odd that yours should have failed.
