Also, the machine seems to be receiving a lot of button-clicks, even though i dont touch the buttons and the screen goes haywire. I have used the same mouse with all kinds of applications on dos and it worked fine. I tried replacing the mouse with another of the same type and that barfed too. However, when i put a microsoft mouse on, it works beautifully! Unfortunately it is a two button mouse! Can anyone tell me why the logitech mouse misbehaves? Also, how can i use a two button mouse to emulate three buttons (say have the second button function as the middle button when double clicked, or along with the esc key)? thanks bhiksha bhiksha@tifrvax.tifr.res.in
