Just dual booted Win 2K Pro with Win 98 SE.  Win 2K Pro has a problem finding my mouse, which is a Cirque Cruisecat touchpad. In Win 98 it is installed to a serial port, and I have a regular mouse in the PS2 port for my wife. The Cirque software runs them both in Win 98 SE. In Win 2K pro it shows the touchpad as PS2, and does not show the regular mouse. If I uninstall the touchpad, on reboot there is no mouse at all, even though a regular mouse is plugged into the PS2 port.  Cirque says to install the software first, but I can't do that with no mouse at all. I reversed the regular mouse and the touchpad in Win 2K, but on restart it finds no mouse at all until you kill it with the power switch.  Rebooting like that it finds the touchpad, but not the regular mouse which had been switched to the serial port.  So when I go to reboot into Win 98 SE I would have to switch the mouse and the touchpad around.  The touchpad has Win 2K drivers, but I can't figure out why Win 2K can't see a regular mouse in the PS2 port (it sees a Cirque touchpad on PS2, when it's the regular mouse there).  If it could I could completely uninstall the serial port touchpad, and maybe get it right.
