Unless you made a typo, it IS a BIOS problem <qoute> touchpad is DEactivated as another pointer device is found </qoute> (emphasis mine) This caught me once as well. The BIOS turned my USB mouse into a PS/2 mouose, when it was found during the system boot. In turn, the real PS/2 mouse got ignored. j. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ "We did a risk management review.
