Win 98 without mouse
My brother's Dimension runs Win 98, and recently started up with VERY low resolution, low colors, won't run software from its cd drive, has no sound, can't print, and, worst of all, no mouse. So it's pretty difficult to start trying to do a lot. I can get to the list of device drivers, and the mouse has a yellow ! mark, but I cannot figure out how to get into that list and go down and select the mouse driver, with no mouse.
Are there any keyboard commands to run Win 98 with NO mouse (as opposed to all the ones I've found, which are just for those who prefer keyboard, or have difficulty with it, but DO have a functioning mouse)?

Obviously an new computer is a nice goal for those with the funds available. Also, in the event he can get a new computer, he still has files on the old one he would like to be sure to be able to transfer. We could probably do that without the mouse functioning, but it would be way faster with one.

I was then able to use arrow keys to go down to Mouse, where his mouse had the yellow ! mark, but when I press Enter, either on the Mouse category or on the specific mouse with the ! mark, the whole window just disappears.
