4802	2000-05-21 11:40:00	The new IntelliEye mouse with a LED sensor instead of a ball is great, except that it hangs my Laptop on booting. I have avoided this by plugging in after booting, but is there a better way? Things I have already tried.... Loaded the software that came with the mouse. Upgraded the laptop BIOS. Tried using the USB port. Emailled the local distributor. Complained to Harvey Norman where I bought the mouse. How is it that noone else has even tried one? It saves carting around a pad and its much smoother. Configuration: Acer Travelmate 721TX. Mouse is connected to PS2 port with adaptor supplied with the mouse. OS is NT4.0 SP5. Description of what happens: Booting from cold with mouse plugged in is successful and apparently normal but you cannot log in using ctrl-alt-del and the mouse does not respond. Needs a painful cold restart and a chkdsk. Plugging in the mouse after booting works normally provided I remember. Rebooting through the BIOS causes a hang, so that is what I suspect is the problem - but is it?	Guest (0)
