Sean, Spots, Dan, or other NT gurus: might one of you remind me how to manually remove ill-behaved mouse software? I just switched from a Power Cat glidepoint from Cirque (nice enough, but I wanted to try a new toy) to Logitech's mouse software. There was no uninstall software or add/remove program entry for the Cirque software. I then naively hoped that the logitech drivers might replace the cirque. Well, they did, but not without leaving behind some of the cirque stuff. As a result, I'm getting no mouse-wheel access, and often worse (esp hangs in my opera and MSIE browers.) I get 3 i8042prt error 24's in event viewer, all indicating a fight over irq resources (which makes sense.) My main questions are, how to tube the cirque drivers, and how to make sure that any cleanup afterwards is done right. I'd have called, but cirque doesn't have phone tech support, and who knows when they'll answer my e-mail. Apologies I have to bug you guys with this--I'm sure it's just deleting a service or something, but I couldn't recall exactly and didn't want to risk messing things up worse. TIA, Dave
