The computer system I have to work with here has such an old version of Windows I think they used to call it PortHole and the mouse is an actual rodent that runs on a little wheel in the back of the $19.00 clone tower on my desk. I'll take it back home and plug this gear into my fairly recent HP and see if I can get it to go. I hate having to do this stuff on my time. Mac. :lol: |
