Did you connect the MS mouse directly to the computer or to your switch? Because of variations in mice, OSes and systems; when run through a switch the mouse is not recognized properly, so even when manually configured the proper driver is not used causing lost functionality. I use a Linksys KVM switch for keyboard and monitor only and use a direct connect mouse on each system. Using this method I have encountered no problems with mouse usage on any OS running on either system.

The MS mouse was connected directly to the switch. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried connecting it directly to the computer and things seemed to be better. I play with kalendar for a bit but when I enlarged the window I lost the mouse and the kb. That's three times in a row now that the crash has occurred when I enlarge a window. I'll try reinstalling with the mouse connected directly. Did you make any changes to BIOS settings? Is your USB IRQ set to enable or disable? Many thanks ...jack
