Wrong newsgroup. Notice the "XP" in this newsgroup name. There is no
"98" in its name.

If there is no cursor, a mouse was never detected. Do you have it
plugged into a USB port? Have you tried plugging it into a PS/2 port?
It's been too many years since I used an 95-based Windows, but didn't
Windows 98 require some update, patch, or fix to support USB? Tried a
different mouse? If it is a cordless mouse, have you tried new
batteries? Have you tried testing with a tethered mouse temporarily?

If you have the time to post here, you have the time to check for
replies here. This topic is not sensitive or harmful and there is no
need for secrecy by taking the discussion offline via e-mail.
Disconnecting the discussion via e-mail is rude.
