Thanks, I'll follow up on the help.... I suspect it is a 64 bit issue, as my W7 machine is 64 bit (I already discovered that Palm doesn't provide a 64 bit driver for many of its older PDAs). In part answer, yes I used the control panel and device manager to investigate... used the DM to "update the driver", but I was not asked in this process if I had a 64 bit environment. On my XP machine the mouse dialog box comes up with the mouse pictured, exactly as it looks (not a schematic or icon drawing) on the W7 machine I get a generic 2 button mouse picture. I need to find some time to use the good links already provided. Thanks,

Vicky & others, I too have problems now & then. There is no rhyme or reason, apparently. Whenever I contact Tamara, I get the feeling she thinks I'm an idiot beause of course the problem doesn't happen for her - & it does go away the next day...only to reappear a week or so later. I actually had a different problem just last night -- a survey box kept popping up every single time I moved from one thread to another - even when I repeatedly clicked on 'no thanks'. Of course, it didn't happen for Tamara, & I've only been here today, so we'll see. I suspect it won't happen today -- simply the law of averages. Or is that Murphy's Law?? I forget! LOL I do get disgusted, & if it weren't for the friendships formed here, I would probably leave. It seems with the number of us that have problems things will get better - we can hope! :)

I have very limited space in width and depth in which to place my double ovens, so I will have to keep this issue in mind. Also, can you tell me the width of both your oven and your cabinet? I was planning a 27" cabinet for my 27" ovens, but was told that for a 27" oven you need a 30" cabinet. I am hoping that someone gave me the wrong information because I do not even have ONE extra inch.

Re: layout of kitchen, I like this plan without seating (since you don't want seating): Vs: this plan For or a couple reasons: 1) fridge is closer to living and dining room preventing traffic into the kitchen and easier to fetch things when eating and 2) a nice wall hood with beautiful backsplash is always a nice focal point from the living room vs a fridge and 3) cooktop is more protected and not in an aisle Mama Goose already addressed the concern I had re: bathroom visibility by moving the opening. Hope this helps
