Had to reboot. I don't want to alarm you, but this is the result of a virus called 'Mouse'. It reverses the y-direction of the mouse after some time. The original version of the virus is not agressive, it doesn't delete anything on diskettes but it does multiply itself to bootsectors. I strongly suggest you get a virus killer and check your disks! -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh my God, it is the attack of the Half-Crazed Mutant Teenage Alien Computer Junkies!!" +------------------------------------ "Relax!
