Bob, I will try disabling COM1 on my motherboard, just to see if it affects anything, and put my mouse on COM2. However, Jack (from Trantor) says that my T130 SCSI host adapter simply does NOT use an IRQ. So the IRQ conflict (if any) can't be with the T130 card. Also, I do have a SoundBlaster card. But I completely removed that from my machine long ago (along with all other unnecessary boards) and it didn't solve the problem. I've recopied my mouse drivers. I'll do the same with my SCSI and CD-ROM drivers. I've seen stranger things be the cause for problems like this. I've been tracing every interrupt, DMA channel, I/O port address and memory region in use on my computer, in an attempt to resolve this problem. I completely removed EMM386, and started Windows with the /d:x switch so it wouldn't use *any* upper memory. Nothing has helped. Thus far, I havn't found the source of the conflict. I even turned BIOS shadowing off but this didn't help. Take care, James
