I decided to try again with SP3 and the A8n32sli MB.So I purchased a new keyboard and mouse for my desktop and switched the old one to the problematic machine. The result being is that it changed from having a usb mouse to PS2 mouse. Reinstalled SP3 and surprise surprise it worked.Hurrah

Interesting how valuable a PS2 mouse can be at times, Steve.

[Steve]

If it breaks though I am stuck!!!

[Rik]

Why? You can still get them, can't you?

I don't use Norton myself

Does anyone?

[Rik]

I'm guessing Symantec staff...

[Sebby]

I'd have thought they'd be clued up, so wouldn't use it.
