Might you concurrently have *two* pointing devices installed (and listed in Device Manager), like the IBM USB mouse and also whatever the laptop provides (touchpad or touchstick)? When attaching the USB mouse, disable the other one. Otherwise, you end up with two devices both trying to manage the position of the onscreen mouse cursor. -- __________________________________________________ __________ ** Post your replies to the newsgroup - Share with others ** For e-mail Reply: remove "DELETE", add "~VN56~" to Subject. __________________________________________________ __________ |

Thank you for your response.
Yea, 2 devices, both working fine, until recently. I uninstalled the drivers,... no joy. I tried two other mices with happiness. So, the IBM mouse is no longer a mouse.
