  I am experiencing the problem referred to on the net as the "mouse-on-drugs"
effect.  At various times the mouse will begin racing across the screen randomly
opening and closing windows.  If you stop moving the mouse you can still operate
windows with the keyboard.  If I exit windows and restart, the problem goes 
away - for awhile.  This problem occurs on by 286 Packmate II machine with a
logitech mouse running on the PS/2 mouse port.  I have seen the problem with
either the logitech or microsoft windows mouse drivers.  The previously posted
solution of using the "Mouse Systems or VisiOn Mouse on COMx" drivers will
not work for my PS/2 port system (windows tries to fire up then dies).  I tried
to call Microsoft and the technical service recording warned me of a 30 minute
wait on hold.  Not wanting a long distance bill larger than the cost of the
upgrade I decided to turn to the net.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.                    Rich Jolly
