Jamie, Sorry we won't meet in Chitown, I was looking forward to it. Perhaps another place, another time. I have two problems to report. The first is with the new LogiMouse driver. It dosen't work using the LogiTech 3.2 resident driver. In order to use my mouse, I have to use the LogiMouse driver that came with my copy of Rev9 sn#10-105422. The AutoCAD with the new driver that dosen't work is sn#10-147494. The sceond problem is also with ns#10-147494. Sometimes, for no reason I can detect, AutoCAD hangs on start-up. The hang goes like this: ACAD PROTO RUN is issued. Run.scr looks like this: 1 (load"/lv/lisp/exe") (load"/lv/lisp/m11") go Acad stops in the graphic screen, with only the blue areas painted. Those being status, prompt and menu areas. The machine is a Compaq 386/16 with the Compaq EGA monitor. Regards, Ray Brandes — Brandes Design —

Ray, You should not be loading ANY driver from Logitech in order to use it with AutoCAD's Logi Driver. The driver Logi supplies is a MSmouse emulation driver and should not be loaded when using the AutoCAD supplied driver. I know the newer driver (DUD supplied) had some adjustments made to it, but it works on the machines I have tested it with. Now I personally feel the MicroSoft Emulation (and yes, it will give you three buttons) is better than the direct Logi Driver. If you are trying to squeak some extra system memory space, using the built in Logi Driver should help. As for the second problem, will the program start ok if the lisp files are not loaded in the script? Jamie

Jamie, . I will try the mouse sans driver as you suggest, sounds great for saving ram. I will probally have to leave the mouse driver in though for use with Norton Editor since I toggle between that and Acad all day long. . I will test the script thing the very next time the screen hangs. As I remember, when it happens, it happens no matter how you approach AutoCAD. . Regards, Ray Brandes — Brandes Design — .

Well, if you have to have the MSmouse driver in for Norton's then you may as well use the one for the MSmouse in AutoCAD. Like I said, I prefer it with the C-7 I use. Jamie
