Bob, Thanks for your help thus far. I switched my mouse to COM2, but this didn't help. Same problem with my mouse on COM2: 1. CD audio skipping 2. Music Box (and other CD audio tools for Windows) getting confused when tracking the progress of the song. The little "progress meter" that tells you how far into the song you are actually starts flipping around, and often disappearing! 3. Eventual hang of Windows One last weird point. It only seems to happen if I move my mouse very slowly. Fast mouse movement all over my mouse pad doesn't seem to cause the problem. But slow, slight, circular, movements always cause the problem. I can't find a way to "disable" my COM ports, and CMOS setup didn't have an option for this. I don't really need to unplug the COM1 port hardware, do I? Now I need those other ideas, Bob! Take care, James
