This is a symptom of a mouse driver that does not support the latest Microsoft standard. At least you don't get random crashes which is another symptom of an old mouse driver. Check with your mouse manufacturer to make sure that you have the latest version of the driver. The most common ones are Logitech which is at 4.10, Microsoft which is at something like 7.3, and Mouse Systems at 6.23. All these numbers are subject to the vagaries of my memory. This is also a symptom of a worse problem -- People asking comp.lang.c++, a general forum about the C++ language, questions that can easily be handled by Borland tech support and are not of particular interest to the C++ community. In my experience, Borland's tech support forum on Compuserve is the best source of information for questions like these. Telephone calls can work too, though a bbs lends itself much better to the gathering and disemination of information like this. -- sidney markowitz
