Try pressing F5 (clean boot) in the boot phase (Starting MS-DOS...) if 
you are using MSDOS6 or later.  Of course, load your mouse driver in the

I have tried to use Executor 1.99k in my machine, but it hanged up 
initially.  I am using the plain EMM386 and SMARTDRV too.  What I did is 
the abovementioned and it ran.
