Hi Roman, Wow. It looks like a nice mouse...Try replacing the Generic Mouse PS/2 with a Generic Serial Mouse first. If that does not work, replace it with the MS Intellimouse serial. Have you checked to see if it is a serial mouse or USB? MDK7.1 has addressed several USB issues I have a fairly good book on Upgrading and Repairing PCs - Linux Version. I will access as much information as possible to get your mouse working. Next we will work on the CDROM and floppy. Could you provide me with some extra information: 1. How do you have your hard drive drive configured? 2. Are you using more that one drive? 3. Which is the first master and which is the slave? 4. If you have two drives are they connected to two different bus lines? 5. Is you CDROM daisy chained? If I can envision the setup in my mind, it would make it easier to find isolate the culprit. I may reinstall MDK7.0 to see my previous installation. By the way, when you get any message, error message i.e. selecting the CDROM, can you please write down the exact message. This would be a great idea to consider ICUII video for Linux. This way, I could see the inside of you computer. I will be speaking with you soon. Regards, Roman (No matter how much head banging you do, Linux is a superb learning experience.)
