Yes it tells me the op sys is listening to Mouse events. Hmmm...can you use a different profile? Drivers do
not necessarily get installed by just adding hardware. .sys file are one type of file which can be installed
which access hardware. If Windows 2000 will not let the sys file direct access to the hardware you will get
this behavior. There ought to be a timeout though but if the sys was poorly written then yes it can hang
forever. This isn't the only explanation for trouble. It could be just some malware obtained off the Net that
is trying to load at boot and unable to. Maybe due to AV Software.
No Safe Mode or Normal access to the op sys puts us in a very tight bind. There is really not much we can
do except try the Recovery Console. That you get to from starting with the Widows 2000 CD-ROM in the
drive. Just don't try to reinstall over your existing ionstallation. We may need to but let's see what we can
do in the recovery console. Tell me if you can get to system32 with that. Then we will look for files of a
modified date close to when this issue started. If you can find substantial files (I know this is not very
descriptive - we are really looking for exe or dlls which have really weird names like ss8uly.dll and no mfg
info) move them out of system32.
