I wonder is anyone else had the same experience as I had with a new Microsoft USB mouse.
I have a laptop that double boots to Win XP and F9. I bought a new Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000. Everything was fine until I decided to use the CD provided to install all the special effects in the XP environment.
Now in F9 the mouse does not consistantly allow me to copy lines of text by choosing the text with the left mouse and copying the text using the middle button. Instead of copying a good part of the time I get nothing happening when I press the middle button or I get a menu I have never seen before. A strange menu appears at other times ,for example, when I am clicking on an icon to get a program to run (such as Firefox).
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

I wonder if they make a reprogrammable mouse? If so, I'd see if the Windows side of things has any options about resetting defaults, and see if that changes how things are working for you.

Beware, dual boot, Fedora knows windows is out there and doesn't like it! I think that re-booting to windows is what caused F10 to not sync with my Lifedrive. So now I stay out of the windows side. I wonder how long F10 is going to make me pay penance?
Sorry, I know this isn't an answer, but I couldn't resist, because I kinda believe it! Michael

If you switch OS's, you may want to avoid rebooting and do a clean shutdown and power-on cycle. There are things that don't get cleared with a reboot. Even rebooting my fedora-10 (and formerly f9) would cause problems with my dual-link framebuffer not driving the display correctly after a reboot if X or the kernel changed. Doing a complete shutdown always fixed things.
