What kind of mouse do > you use? Mine is a MS optical intellimouse. It is a fairly old standard HP wheeled mouse. Works fine with a win98 box and two linux boxes but the win2k box is having problems. I need to shut it all down and bring the win2k box up first to see if that makes any difference. Really funny thing is that I had the belkin working fine but wanted to clean up the cabling and the Iomega looked like it would do the job. I think reseting and booting the win2k box first may do the trick. May get a chance to do that this week. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx Mail server hit by UniSpammer.
