Video driver is current as of 9-28-01. There is a file, pelmiced.exe, associated with my IBM optical mouse that causes a couple of games (Free Cell and Backgammon) to malfunction. Pelmiced.exe enables the scrolling wheel and a programmable side button. When pelmiced is disabled the games work properly. Downloaded new driver for mouse, and games worked OK for a couple of days then regressed to previous behavior. I also occasionally get a warning message regarding how close the mouse can be to the receiver, monitor, or keyboard. ???
