Install a functional mouse. Unfortunately unless the mouse itself supports PS2 to serial conversion, just using an adapter won't get the job done. However there is also the possibility, in this instance, that the serial port is what is causing issues rather than the mouse itself.
About all I can say with hardware of this vintage, is good luck on finding hardware. You might try finding a PS2 splitter so that you can hook the keyboard and mouse up to the same port.

I recently reformatted the C drive on an older desktop computer that had slowed down because of an accumulation of spyware. Windows 98 was reinstalled and everything worked fine for a few days and then on a recent boot up the cursor froze and remains that way. There was no connection made to the internet prior to the freeze and only a few basic programs were loaded. The mouse on this machine is a serial mouse and I suspected that the mouse might have become defective. This machine has only a serial connection for a mouse. So I used a connector that converts a PS2 connection to a serial connection with a PS2 mouse in order to use a different mouse. The cursor is still frozen even with a different mouse. I also get a message on boot up instructing me to install a PS2 mouse. This message appeared even before I used the PS2 mouse. How do I solve this problem.
