LMOUSE Windows protection error

stirfry_3

Hi! I'm asking this on behalf of my brother who has been getting the error message "While initializing device LMOUSE Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer" After restarting his computer it now only runs in Safe Mode. He is unable to access the internet, and though I have checked out several possible diagnostic sites, none has suggested how to fix the problem. Can anyone advise please?

go to start>run> type msconfig>ok
in the system configuration utility go to the system.ini tab and open the node-> boot. There you would find the entry msmouse.drv= imouse.drv. Uncheck it, apply, click OK and reboot.

Thanks for your prompt reply Browntoa. Guided my bro through it over the phone but u/f it hasn't worked for him. I'm following up your tomcoyote link - many thanks again!

Try a different mouse because windows protection is there for a reason.
Safe mode is a safe guard to stop windows crashing; maybe the drivers are not compatible with the operating system?

If it still won’t work with a new mouse? Try reinstalling the operating system again.
If that fails? Then get a new disk.
