26585 2001-12-05 06:45:00 Thanks Heather , Mike and Pam for your responses to my post. I have begged another mouse and it worked, obviously the wayward buttons cased the applications to get mucked around, I have mended the O2000 and it all works well. I can't believe that a mechanical device could act so strange.
Cheers

If a mouse sticks - it needs cleaning, if it goes beserk - replace it.

c'est la vie... programmed obsolescence of 'l'ancien technologie'.... where was that mousetrap?... Thanks again, Geoffh
