I forgot to mention that this Intel Motherboard was made for a PS2 mouse but

Problem with MS Optical Mouse

item by itself sometimes.
I have updated the driver for it using Microsoft Software, and I have new
batteries but the problem persists.

Re: Best way to upgrade to Windows 7

Not really, you could just do the upgrade path but that is sure to lead
to problems and odd behavior. Your best bet is to back up your data
(pictures, docs, music, etc.) then format the drive and do a clean
install, that is your best chance of having a trouble-free install.

Sewer? I think not. Its no worse than these groups and a good killfile
takes care of that. Not to mention the forums are a mess, tons of noise,
very little info. and you can't killfile that mess!

This is an easy one ! You simply restore your boot-drive / Windows platform
to the state it was in before you made, potentially disastrous, major
software changes to it, such as installing application software that's
destined to cause problems.
So, because you were about to make changes that could damage your Windows

4- copy it to where you want to save it, rename as you want.

Hi, see comments inline below...
Thanks for the clarification (I'm not being sarcastic). I do want to use
correct terminology.
Rhetorical questions not requiring a reply: Wasn't Windows 95 just slapped
on top of DOS? Does Windows XP still have a boot option to boot to DOS
mode? Don't some low level disk utilities require a Windows machine to boot

"IE security question 23423"
I see no reason you wouldn't be able to, but if I were you, I would
download and SAVE SP2 from the link below and then put it on CD. Then you
can remove the download.
