I'm not sure the mouse is at fault, Dan, because when I switched to an old hockey puck, it too didn't work properly. In fact, to make sure I just tried the Apple mouse again, and again had problems. I'm using just the keyboard right now. Just plugged the Explorer back in (to the keyboard) and it's working, but who knows for how long. Any other thoughts? Gary
