I can't speak for the 755CDV unit itself (yet) but for all my previous systems 750C, 750CE, 755C their was a problem with using external mice. IBM says that they do not "support" external mice other than their own. And, if you do use a "non-supported" mouse you should disable the track-point device under F1 settings (a real pain!). I have had to give the "system managers" password to several folks due to this and the fact that you can't disable the TrackPoint from a control panel (like you now can in 760CD's; maybe 75x has a bios upgrade to fix this now... I don't know). Hope this helps, Ed BTW - The problems we saw with the mouse was the inability to click on things (especiall double clicking); under the Win31 control panel for the mouse, using the test box. >From: Mark Ellis <mellis@ramcad.pica.army.mil> >We have a 755CDV, and I installed win95 on it.
