can anyone help?
I can start up in safe mode and the mouse works perfectly, when I start a
normal startup there's no mouse look in device manager and there is a yellow
mark against the mouse. I've removed the mouse , and restarted and it
detected new hardware and installed the mouse drivers, but it still doesn't
work

Boot to Safe Mode, remove the mouse in Device Manager, and restart to Normal
Mode. Reexamine DM to confirm that the mouse drivers loaded properly.
Inspect the mouse applet in Control panel and reset some parameters to test.
If you are using the mouse as a USB device, try installing the PS/2 adapter
to the wire and use it in that mode. Power down to plug in the moue in PS/2
mode.

If all fails, try a new, or known-good, mouse. It is not uncommon for the
mouse wire to fail at its board inside the mouse. By all means, use a
modern optical mouse.

Just so I'm clear about your situation:

Did you install a new or known-good mouse, and it still doesn't work?

In Normal mode when I look at the mouse properties, under the General Tab
there is a message that says:
This device is not working properly because windows cannot load the file
(vmouse.VXD) that loads the drivers for the divice (code 8).

In the Driver File Details
C:\Windows\system\vmm32\vmouse.vxd
C:\Windows\system\mouse.drv
C:\Windows\system\msmscoin.dll
C:\Windows\system\msmouse.vxd
I have done a over the top reinstall of windows and it still hasn't intalled
the mouse.

Why would the mouse work in safe mode and not in normal mode?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

I suspect your mouse driver set is corrupted. Try to uninstall any such
mouse drivers in Add-Remove Programs.
Obtain a fresh copy of the drivers from the mouse vendor's site and install
them.
Then attempt to boot to Normal Mode, and confirm that the device is using
the new drivers. If not, change the drivers, using the wizard in Device
Mangaer.
