Good afternoon,

I installed a game called Three Point Basketball on my computer, and now my computer is messed up.
Whenever Windows begins to load, it will pop back to a DOS screen and state:

--Three Point Basketball requires a Microsoft compatible mouse and mouse driver. Please check to make sure that your mouse is connected, and that your mouse driver is installed.

<Hit any Key>

So whenever I hit any key, it will pop back to Windows loading, and then back and forth, back and forth. Ever since, I have not been able to use the computer since I cannot pass the Windows loading screen. I'm not getting anywhere!!! Can someone help.

Hold down the &quot;ctrl&quot; key while booting and boot into safe mode. While in safe mode either remove the game or update your mouse drivers. Good Luck

Can someone please help me.
I tried holding down the ctrl button, before I never got prompted a screen to choose Safe Mode.
What are my other options.
Please help!

Ciao!

 
Ok, what is the operating sytem; win95, 98 or other?

Keep hitting F8 as the computer is booting up. This should give you a list of options and I think 3 is safe mode (but I could be wrong).
