Hi Michael,
I checked the SLS and it shows AUTOMATIC. I will stop it then restart it
when I get home.
Also then I will check the SLUI.
Thank you for your suggestions.
To: Charlie Tame,
I am not getting any mouse related troubles. I didn't even download a
driver. I just plugged it in and it worked! That's it.
To: Dean-Dean,
When I get home I will definetly try that.
Thanks to all who have given me suggestion. I will let you all know.
