Thanks, Donk, The mouse is installed in the port on the back of my computer. I tried it in a usb slot when I first bought it a few months ago but it didn't want to work that way so it came with an adapter so that's what I used.. I also installed the new software that came with it so believe the device drivers are okay but checked it anyway and my software is up to date.
So far I've been able to get it to work again by restarting the computer but, gosh, it's scary. Holly On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 8:41 PM, Donk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This might be a USB problem.
