Hey Steve, >> I see my mouse pointer, it even behaves normally most of the time. But >> sometimes the pointer starts jumping around the screen and clicking >> randomly. That happens for about half a second, but can get me upset >> if it happens to click in a way that it closes two windows and presses >> "ok" in another one. I've had the same problem in Windows with my old >> mouse and there it helped to switch from 3-button mode to 2-button >> mode.

When I use it, my mouse works as a serial mouse perfectly. Absolutely no problems (apart from different sensitivity - how come ?). Though, I would like it to run as PS/2. I have tried every PS/2 driver - none solves the problem. And everytime I run mouseconfig it starts up with the Generic Mouse PS/2 selected (same as Jeff Malka I think). Why ? Thanx in advance for any help. Roman
