Strange as it may seem, windows does not treat all mouses as equals.
I had the same problem with my brother's pc trying to get it to recognise
an ms mouse.  Delete the mouse from Device manager under control panel, system,
and reboot.  New hardware should be detected and the mouse should be there now.
It may ask for the win95 cd.

I am working on a clients PC Express older 486 running Win95 a.  Everytime
it gets in windows, windows does not detect a mouse.  It is a serial mouse
on com1.

Com 1 shows up in the device manager fine, no conflicts on irq 4.  The mouse
works great on my linux machine.  I installed a different i/o card and still
no mouse.  The cmos is older, so there is no mention of IRQ or pnp, or
anything of the sort.
