If not try this:
1. Make a backup copy of the Boot.ini file.
2. Remove the hidden, system, and read-only attributes from the Boot.ini file.
3. Using a text editor (such as Notepad) open the Boot.ini file.
4. Add the /NoSerialMice option to the end of each entry in the [operating systems] section of Boot.ini. See the example below for more information.
5. Save Boot.ini and quit Notepad.
6. Restore the hidden, system, and read-only attributes to the Boot.ini file.
7. Shutdown and restart Windows.
The following is a sample of the Boot.ini file say for WINNT:
[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT3 5
[Operating systems]
Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT35="Windo ws NT Workstation
Version 3.51" /NoSerialMice
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT35="Windo ws NT Workstation
Version 3.51 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos /NoSerialMice
**********************************************
NoSerialMice Syntax
/NoSerialMice - Disables the detection of serial mice on
all COM ports.
/NoSerialMice:COMx - Disables the detection of serial mice on
COM x, where x is the number of the port.
/NoSerialMice:COMx,y,z - Disables the detection of serial mice on
COM x, y and z.
NOTE: The /NoSerialMice option is not case sensitive

Thank you Murf for your suggestion. The Boot.ini now reads as follows, BUT I AM STILL GETTING THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES WHEN I BOOT UP. Any other ideas????
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00"/NoSerialMice
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos /NoSerialMice
