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
