More Touble (was RE: strange problem with mouse from one xp home system with v4 release)

[Kelly F. Hickel]

I'm still having trouble with this, and would appreciate any help I can
get.  I can build the source and debug it, if someone tells me what to
look for.

Even v3.3 is giving grief now on this machine.  This morning I tried
logging into it as a different user, and it was a bit better, but still
had problems.


Anyone? Bueller?  Anyone?
