Hi again Thank you for your persistence on helping me :-) I did go through the Nvidia download driver procedure, so I expected to get the latest driver. I was not sure it was the same driver SW as we don't have the same cards. I have now downloaded the 180.06 driver. It installed OK and works fine as the previous driver...but my mouse clicks still stops working on system level, as soon as eeschema is started... I also looked on the Nvidia site ( I guess you mean forums.nvidia.com ), but I have not been sufficiently lucky (skilled ?) to find others describing the same problem. I'm still uncertain if this is a driver problem or it is located some other place. I have used Code::Blocks for many hours, two instances, one on each monitor editing, compiling, programming and debugging through ICE's two uControllers supposed to communicate (they do now). Code::Blocks is wxWidgets based as Kicad. Why don't I see the failure each time I start Code::Blocks like I see it for Kicad, if the error is in the driver ? By the way Nvidia in reality wants me to register. This is OK if I want to post something, but I find it strange they won't allow me, a customer of their product, to search their site without registering. Best regards
