New usb mouse is working better, still has a hissy fit now and again when it refuses to let go of
something but a quick left click usually gets it to drop whatever it’s holding on to. Most annoying
during a game of solitaire! Still can’t use the mousepad though.

Thank you for all the help, you guys are amazing. ;D

JAKEY…I can assure you that softm8 is NOT safe!!! It took hours to remove all the rubbish that was
dumped on my laptop!
