Subject: Re: Keyboard/Mouse Lockout
Ok. The problem has been isolated to a faulty mouse cable. I really
love my Apple mouse but I probably wouldn't buy one new cause they
cost too much. Is there anyone who has a spare mouse cable for a
G4-400 mouse, possibly from a dead mouse. Is it possible to buy
replacement cables for mice?
I should have tried to win that mouse at the last WAMUG but I was
quite happy with my current mouse and I didn't know about the problems
I was about to face.
Thanks

Fortunately no. My workstation setup requires an extension USB cable
to the keyboard cable and that's where the trouble was. Lucky!!!

Did you have to buy a new keyboard to fix the problem?
I hope not.

I had the same problem, it was a faulty connector on the keyboard
cable!

I have recently discovered that a friend using a PC is also
experiencing this same problem. This person also knows of someone
else experiencing the same problem using a PC.
So far I have not been able to figure out a way of dealing with
this problem

I have recently been experiencing what I thought to be freezes.
However I noticed that programs continued to function normally
and discovered that unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back
in fixes the problem. This fix only works temporarily and the
problem occurs again after some time.
Problem occurs in various programs and in Finder.
I recently went through disc first aid and repaired permissions
although I'm not too sure if this is relevant.
Running 10.2.8 on G4-400
Thanks
