PCWorks: RE: FLV player caused strange mouse cursor behavior

Clint, I'm now using a M$ wireless optical mouse on the
laptop.  Seems to 
work fine (no slowdowns). I tried using the mouse while an
FLV file was 
running; still no problems....

Thanks John.  I uninstalled mine, if you want to call it
that 
and it didn't change anything.  They told me that it didn't

really need "uninstalling" that nothing was
installed, but it 
showed up under "Add/Remove programs" and I
removed it there. 
Strange that the shortcut on the Desktop remained, and, it 
still opened!  So at least some part of it is obviously
still 
installed.

Looks like, maybe, this could have something to do with it 
being installed with "Windows Movie Maker" because
after that 
has been open a while and running I usually notice it.
