Following recovery from a system crash I am getting an error message telling me to re-install mouse.drv to my system32 folder. How do I extract the file from the Windows 2000 cab files and then how do I install it, si it just a case of copying it to the folder?

I have checked and verified that mouse.drv does exist on my hard drive but it may be corrupted as I keep getting the error message when trying to open certain application.

The simplest way, is to remove the mouse from device manager.
Re-boot, and let Windows re-install the mouse driver.

If the file is corrupted, you may need to delete the file after un-installing the mouse.

There are also drivers for some MS mouses at the Intelimouse section of Microsoft.

Now why didn't I think of that? It worked and that particular problem has now been resolved, thank you!
