W95 Boot Help 2

[Keyboy]

I am trying to solve a problem on a Dell OptiPlex at our shop. One of the folks was trying to test that a USB logitec mouse was in working condition. For some reason it was not working on his machine. He plugged it into the USB port and then went to the add/remove hardware button on the control panel. He got to the screen that asked about the drivers and either cancelled out or set that the location was C:. Whenn the machine was rebooted, it started in safe mode. He then went to the Device manager and deleted the mouse being installed; thinking that this would fix the problem. Now the machine starts and during the boot says Lmouse.drv cannot be found, reinstall windows. Then shutsdown.

Is there a simpler way to fix this problem than reinstalling windods an then all the software?
I have his plegde to ask before he tries the next time.

Thanks in advance for you help and advice.

Try booting with out any mouse attached.

Try this driver from Logitech.

Windows 95 and a USB mouse? (I think only the last OSR2.5 version had any USB support - and that was unreliable).

What happens if you just plug a serial or PS/2 mouse back in?

Thanks to all! Starting without any mouse let me load the drivers from a floppy. The mouse doesnn't work, however, I don't care. I was just trying to get a functioning system back.
