THANKS for that, two others (anonymous and so uncontactable I guess) say they have Autotrax working under windows 2000, and one under XP, so it seems autotrax works under both XP and w2k, if setup right. As soon as I get more complete instructions off someone, I'll put it on a webpage, meanwhile I have added your comment about Mouse:exclusive mode to my existing page. (Pity I don't have the OS myself, I suppose, to try it) Anyone who can instructions/testing, please email me!
