[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 170375, member: 114"] The other day I was trying to re-activate Windoze XP after a mobo change but I couldn't find a PS/2 mouse for love nor money (where do they scamper off to? I used to have at least 3!). All I had was the USB2 Logitech wireless thingummy and that wouldn't work and as I had the screen up waiting for the reactivation code (a 48 digit number!) and a nice lady from Bombay waiting to give me said number (and as always happens in these situations I couldn't find a pen) I was loath to ditch the entire process whilst I went off to beg/steal/borrow a mouse. Then it sort of occured to me that I had several clear plastic rodents sitting around my Apple machines so I grabbed one of them, plugged it in the USB socket of the PC and it worked perfectly, I was able to click the code entry box and type in the humungus number and reactivate my games machine.
