USB or PS2 Mouse

He may well be for HIS SYSTEM AND YOURS

No offenxe to you either. But I have ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to modernize. It ani't broke. It is doing ALL I ask of it and I ain't gonna fix it.

Also for my system he is not right. I have tried several brands of both USB and PS2 mice. I haved used them adapted from one to the other.

NOTHING is more solid or reliable ( for me ) than the ANCIENT straight PS2 5 button Microsoft mouse that I use as a permanent pointing device.

Further more this is not a case of being right or wrong, It is STRICTLY a case of what works best. It is works it is not wrong.

I gotta make a correction.

My main pointing device is a MS 5 button USB adapted to PS2.

But I still ani't gonna fix it.

Just for information if anyone is interested I saw this at lockergnome.com

Safe mode is often used when troubleshooting computer issues. To access it, you have to press F8 during startup. If you’re not paying attention and don’t press the key at the right moment, you’ll be restarting a few times. So here is a way you can save yourself having to press F8 during startup to access Safe Mode. Instead, you can add it as an option to your Windows XP Boot Menu.

1. Right click My Computer and click Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Start Up and Recovery, click the Settings button.
4. Click Edit. The boot.ini file will open in Notepad.
5. Copy the line that reads as follows: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS=â€Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect.
6. Paste the line you just copied after the original one.
7. Change the second line from "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" to "Windows XP Safe Mode" or something similar.
8. At the end of this line add the following: /safeboot:minimal /sos /bootlog.
9. Save the boot.ini file by clicking File then Save.
10. Restart your computer and Safe Mode should be available at the boot menu.
