Most likely, your mouse pointers have been messed up. You can fix it in the control panel. Click START --> SETTINGS --> CONTROL PANEL --> MOUSE --> now it gets tricky.... different mouse versions and brands of software will have a different look and feel to the dialog box. What you want to look for is a section (or tab) dealing with POINTERS then click the DEFAULT (or USE DEFAULT) button to RESET the pointers back to a basic set. -- Jim Meagher ============================ Micro Solutions Consulting Web Design, Network Administration [log in to unmask] Hard/software Installation, Service http://www.ezy.net/~microsol 410-543-8996 ============================ PCSOFT: http://nospin.com or [log in to unmask]
