That was to easy. Next time make it harder. NO never do that. I tried mouse drake in safe mode and naturally it didn't work. I tried mousedrake and got the choices. All I needed to do was OK it because the selection was correct. I did after exploring a little. Mouse now behaves properly. At this time of year, I have more money so may be able to get a new modem which will work with Linux. My current win-modem certainly won't. Tanks for the quick help.
