ok thanks for reply, and it seems I was making a error in regard to not using the default mouse mode not thinking it would work , since my laptop is old enough and has that nasty little rubber nub thing in between keys ...really annoying but hey its all I have atm.

Ill post now on networking area of forum for further help as I 'm definitely stuck with that.

thx alot
