Hi all,
Except I've tried multiple mice/brands & it makes no difference.

Hello,
I use Logitech mouse in LL 2.0 and have not had any such issues, it worked after install in the correct manner. Mouse themes also work in their correct manner.

Okay....but that's not really what I was looking for- but I'm happy for you! 

It ought not take a very specific "brand/model" of something like a mouse to run the new OS. Any mouse I use on 1.0.4 works (I still have the CD). I have tried 6 diff. ones, from generic to branded, in 2.0 & all do the snowy-tv dance!

So with hopes that there are mods here who know what to look for, I'm attaching the system profile.

Please keep in mind I'm running this live, ATM, until I get the mouse going. Then, I'll install to the HDD. I do PC repair & accumulate a lot of spare parts. Every so often, I put them together as a 'net/music/photos-litebox, etc...& do a free give-away on our local site to pensioners/low-income.

This is only an Athlon & 1GB RAM, but easily does the basics-- which is what most in my market are after anyway.

So yeah, this is for a good cause. I'd like to pass it along functioning properly.

Cheers!

Scott: not sure you're referring to a live, not-yet-installed issue, or an installed issue...sorry.  Please make it uber-stupidly-easy...because, "we are!!!!"....sniff... 

PSS: I managed to work within safe mode as normal-- so there is a definite mouse bug for the team to research!
