When I restart in safe mode It never detects my mouse,
which makes it very very difficult to work.

How can I resolve this problem.

Dell V350
Win 98-SE
Logitec wheel mouse.

what connection is the mouse using - Serial/PS2/USB?

Safe mode doesn't detect usb mice, which is probably your problem. It's actualy fairly easy to navigate windows without a mouse though, as long as you're only doing things that you should be doing in safe mode.

ctrl+esc brings up start menu
arrow keys navigate active windows
tab switches fields
enter is enter
underscored letters are hot keys
alt puts you on the menu at the top of a window
alt+f4 kills a program (esp good for that damn help file that tends to pop up on entering safe mode)
