Is your USB mouse attached via pcmcia? What kind of system are we looking at?

Is this a laptop with an integrated pointer device? If yes, use "dsl nopcmcia xsetup" to choose which device you want to use.

You could also fiddle around with the power options, etc. I guess... depends if you need the pcmcia or not.

USB mouse is not attached via pcmcia.

I have a Dell inspiron 5150 with 1gb of memory.

laptop has a integrated pointer device as well but i do not use that.

I am going to try the "dsl nopcmcia xsetup" now and will get back to you.

Thank You

Thanks guys that works and i am in ..... i had a look around but i could not find how to connect to internet and when i do find it what info do i put in....

I can use a pci card (Belkin) to my wireless router (netgear) or a network cable if that is easier.

Thank you again for your help i am learning but slowly...
