I have a Microsoft Wheel Mouse. During Install, I selected Microsoft Intellipoint as the mouse type. When the install routine got to the 'make a boot disk' screen, the mouse pointer stopped responding. I could not complete a choice in the screen or cause the screen to close. I had to reboot with the install incomplete. The second time around, I chose not to create a boot disk, and I chose the 'Microsoft serial mouse' option in the mouse selection screen. The install got all the way to the 'congratulations' screen at the end of the routine and the mouse pointer froze up again. Once again I had to reboot. The installation seemed to have worked, so I let the machine boot into Linux. I am having so many subsequent problems with the installation that I am probably going to throw the whole thing away. After the mouse driver failed in Linux, I immediately booted Win98 and the mouse worked properly.

Could you send the model number of your mouse? All the IntelliMouse mice we have here work fine, I'd like to try to reproduce it in the lab.
That would be the installer, not mouseconfig.
