Hi Roman, Hmmm...I used to have MDK7.0 installed but I am using MDK7.1 which offers a button called MouseDrake to change your mouse driver. When you pressed Cntrl+Alt+Backspace, were you able to see your mouse pointer? Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the "WinMouse 4D+" a.k.a. "WWW-11". I'm gonna have to let Charles, Denis or Paul take over. How about guys? Roman Roman Korcek wrote: > > Hey Roman, > > Thanx very much for your reply.
