Re: SMS Virtual Mouse Problem

Dear

1 - We have a lot of kind of Hardware combination and it is not by hardware
combination because we face problems with HP Computers: once the Display and
Network Drivers were lost and once the Mouse stop to respond (conflict with
the SMS Virtual Mouse)
2 - We have a lot combination too of Windows 2000 Professional Services
packs.

All the mouses are PS2 and they are using the drivers that the windows
installed for them during the Windows Installation. computers with USB
Mouses didn't face these problems.

I will get the combination of the Hardware that lost their Display Adapters
and their Network Adapter Drivers during the Advanced Client Installation
