In article blah, there was far to much text to post a quote! My copy of Windows certainly works fine with no mouse control when the driver fails to load in fact it doesn't even generate an error message. Whilst installing my modem I discovered that I had a fault in my on motherboard COM2 so that I couldn't connect my modem and mouse at the same time. I borrowed a friend's old I/O card but without the instruction manual :( and so had just about every combination of COM and Drive conflicts whilst I fiddled with jumpers until I got it to work. Windows, however didn't have a problem with loading without the mouse even when there were conflicts with the COM ports. So it seems odd that yours should have failed. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James Langley | | EMail address 1: jl@siena.demon.co.uk | | Email address 2: j.w.langley@sms.ed.ac.uk | |********1 The world is all that is the case; Ludwig Wittgenstein********| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
