Sounds like the machines were given the OS via disk imaging rather than a proper installation ...
The NT HAL is very particular about these things.

What form of mouse, serial or ps2 or other?

I agree with the previous post; sounds like a bad image of some kind. Maybe it has conflicting resource setup info somehow. The same problem happening on multiple computers should rule out hardware. Since NT doesnt't plug-n-play, it may not correct resource issues automatically.

Have you tried a clean install of NT from the CD?

Do you have other units that work correctly? Are they running the same image? If not, I'd make an image from one of them & reload one of the problem units. If yes, I'd look at weather or not the hardware is identical in all units.

Good luck.
