RE: Mouse locking up

Hi,

Thanks all for your feedback, its unfortunate that i dont have $1500 to
spend on a switch box, and its also a shame that i just left a job where we
had heaps of those compaq switch boxes lying around everywhere ... for
spares... i may have to try some diff mouse drivers under NT, as per Nick
Stocks idea, (thanx nick)
