I'm beginning to think it is something faulty with the mouse; but I'd like to hear from others who may have seen/solved the problem before I take the mouse in for replace- ment. Or maybe it's a 6.0.7 problem? My IIci had 6.0.7 on it when it arrived, lately I've been booting off a Syquest that has 6.0.5 and it seems like maybe it's not doing it (the problem isn't so bad that I've spent time trying to track it down, so I don't really know whether the problem doesn't occur when 6.0.5 is running). The mouse, by the way, says that it's made in USA and has a grey ball. While we're on mouse problems, has anyone seen this one? On an SE running system 6.0.5 with a Kensington Trackball, occasionally the cursor will get "stuck" on startup. That is, the cursor won't move from it's initial position in the upper left-hand corner. Although it doesn't seem like a general system crash (keys will sort of do things, I think, the SuperClock time will update, and so forth), the only thing to do is to restart again. I try jiggling the ADB cables but they don't seem to be obviously loose (I don't jiggle them while the machine is on, though). Usually restarting fixes it but sometimes I have to restart a third time. -- Dana E. Keil Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics University of California, Berkeley dana@are.berkeley.edu
