If your mouse is locking up it may be that you need to disable the touch pad. They may be conflicting. The other way is when planning to do a bit of typing simple temperarily turn the touch pad off. Nick

You've hit it in one Adrian. I should have made it clear that its a problem with the driver of the touchpad. I've tried using a mouse but I find it is even more unpredicatable and it occasionally locks the screen (and I have to reboot) so using the touchpad is the less bothersome option. Thanks for your suggestion though. Once we get the SOW meeting behind us I'll spend a bit of time searching for the proper driver. Cheers Will [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
