USB keyboard & mouse in Windows 98

Question

Tried to install USB mouse and keyboard on DImension with windows 98.  Boot fails with message indicating that 'Windows did not detect a mouse.'  Followed MS instructions on workaround by disabling USB in safe mode and rebooting.  This worked once.  Now I am back to being unable to boot and MS workaround has no impact.   1) Either need to get USB Mouse and keyboard to work 2) Or remove from system so that I can boot with serial mouse and standard keyboard   Help

The serial mouse should always work on a reboot----- if the keyboard is on the PS 2 connector it should also work on a reboot.

Win 98 SE [ second edition] should not have a problem with a USB upgrade---- 98 can sometimes be a real pain to get it to function
