I use Kensington Expert Meese on about 6 diff computers and they all work fine. (just hooked up a Pro today) They are all PS/2 style. I assume your's is a Version 5.0 but all you should need to do is play with the control center --> peripherals --> mice and change the settings. Mine is currently set to: Pointer accel = 7x Pointer Thresh = 1 pixel And it seems to do what you say you want. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
