Rather than reboot, unplug the mouse and then plug it back in. See if that restores the cursor to a working state. If so, then I think you have a bad mouse. I've seen quiet a few of the puck mice do this, and the symptom is always the same. The cursor just stops working and rebooting or disconnecting and reconnecting the mouse makes it work again for a little while. Replacement of the mouse has always solved the problem. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
