Hi Charlie, Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in responding back. In the process of trying to tweak my mouse it flipped out all together. It wouldn't go more than an inch away from th bottom left hand corner. The wheel wouldn't work either. What a mess. I knew there was a thread about someone loosing their mouse so I searched around till I found it. I ended up having to unplug the little bugger and then choosing "none" then plugged it back in, chose the correct mouse then rebooted again and now it works ... sort of.
it is still a slow poky thing unless I manually change it. No it is not dirty around the ball (I wipe it out regularly). It is a MS Explorer 5 button Track Ball. When I choose MS Explorer from the list, it works fantastic (minus the 2 right hand buttons). However when I log out then back in, it is back to the turtle. Anybody have any idea how I can make the setting stay put? Also, anybody know of software out there that will allow me to use my extra 2 buttons?
