You can either look in your autoexec.bat file to see where it is loading from, or simply use the dos command dir mouse.com /s (make sure you start from the root of c: i.e. cd c:\ and then: dir mouse.com /s)and it will display the location of the file. Sometimes mice use a .sys file which loads in the config.sys. You may need to check both to see where the driver is loading from. Hope this helps.

Thanks Roger. You've been a great help. I kept trying that with my computer, but I have Windows 98 SE, DOS doesn't work the same and it was making me crazy! Thanks, again.
