not related to your problem - I don't have any suggestions - but I'm curious
what anti-trojan software you're running. I just had a 'run-in' with one. Norton
had quarentined one about a month ago. Yesterday, I updated norton at the web
site, and a short while after that, I logged off xp and back on, and norton came
up that it found a virus - a trojan, and it couldn't quarentine it - norton was
denied access. What I ended up doing was deleting the files manually - worked
fine. I think they may have been tidbits leftover from the month prior, but I
really don't know.
Anyway - I'm very interested in what you use!!
and I hope your mouse behaves itself! mine does weird things when its batteries
are low - it's cordless.

Weird situation going on. My mouse pointer has a mind of it's own. The
pointer will just start slowly creeping across the page. I've had it happen
when my hand is just resting on the mouse, not moving the mouse at all and
also when I'm not even touching the mouse. This can happen on an open
webpage or at times when I have OE open reading email. the pointer will be
at the bottom of the screen (on the desktop wallpaper) then it gets a mind
and will just start creeping. If I do nothing it'll creep all the way across
the screen. Some times it's vertical but mostly it's diagonally, right lower
to left upper.
OS is XP Pro, IE/OE 6, all updates/patches installed. Have Adaware and
Spybot installed and run both every couple of days so no spyware/malware.
Have AV installed and updated regularly so no viruses. I also have
AntiTrojan and it reports nothing found. The mouse is USB optical Logitech
M-BJ58 and I'm using MouseWare vs.. 9.78
TIA
