What happens if you: 1)read the instructions 2)Scroll the wheel as the first thing you do (assuming you have a wheel). This has only been an issue with the Genius Netscroll, and it (scrolling the wheel first) does the trick every time. Logitech Mouseman+ PS2 doens't exhibit this, nor does MS Intellimouse PS2. -- |----------------Registered Linux User #182071-----------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7
