Gary - I do have a USB Microsoft mouse (wheel optical) and a Microsoft Internet keyboard. I use my mouse to initiate the shutdown sequence or Windows does it during a software or upgrade restore which only requires a return or mouse click. I have an FIC MB and cheapo soundblaster card, not the Live!
I greatly appreciate your ideas and will hook up my PS2 wheel mouse and snag another keyboard from the closet. Excellent ideas!
I did a reformat and reinstall of XP Pro (on a blank hard drive) this weekend out of pure frustration. Did nothing to solve this problem but did clean up my system. I usually give this thing an enema at least once a year but since running Win 2K and now XP the thing just runs too smoothly to thing about reformats. I give credit to Microsoft on Win 2K and XP for the outstanding reliability in an OS.
Thanks again,
Gary
