Thank you. There was no restore defaults option but I moved the selection from image moves all the time, to image moves when the edge is touched. Much better. Thanks again! I wonder how that happened? I would have never found the mouse setting without your help.

Let's see if I can explain in the limited time I have; if I don't finish, I'll come back later or tomorrow. Have hubby's last chemo & radiation today. In my office I have a dual boot Windows machine - running XP (pro I think) and Vista. I also have the Mac. I have not tried to put Windows of any flavor on the Mac; it was on my list of things to do. I was going to buy the program verses what's on the Mac. My pain management Dr did it; he had some issues with drivers. Not sure if he did XP or Vista. The Mac worked fine at 1st. I was able to Network; I was able to access the Windows machine both sides. When on the Windows PC; I was able to access the Mac from both. I'm not sure what changed and when but eventually I wasn't able to access either puter - I made user accounts on Windows (both sides) and now am able to access Windows (both sides) from the Mac. The problem is accessing the Mac from Windows. Granted, it very well may be me; because I haven't been as "heavy" into building & using the computer since we moved. The most I do is work with pictures; for that I use Windows because the Mac photo program confuses me. I like Windows much better all the way around because of ease of use; software works & I can do things without reading a manual. With the Mac, I feel so stupid some days. I haven't installed anything except firefox.. forgot how. lol It's so simple too from what I remember but I have to get the dummy book to do it again. lol One thing that will not work on the Mac is my Microsoft Works. All of my medical databases are made with works. I looked for a Mac plug in (reader) but they don't have one. I also don't want to have to replace my full Office suite.

sending this down the page as I restarted the computer and that fixed the problem. abbey

What type of Mouse is it, Ball, Optical or Laser? If it's an Optical or Laser, you may try cleaning the lens on the bottom of the mouse. BTW, Yes Rechargeable Batteries do go bad and need replaced, but to me it doesn't sound like the batteries. If by some chance you have a mouse with a Ball in the bottom (Old Style Mouse), there are 3 Rollers inside that may need cleaning.
