[cooldude45]

i have windows 98 me installed on parallel workstation(newest version) with xp as host. i have a usb mouse, which works on parallel but it only works maybe 70% of the time. i have to keep clicking the mouse button for it to work. Is there a fix for this?

1. If this is a new mouse, how sure are you that it isn't defective.
2. If it is an older mouse, how sure are you that is isn't reaching the end of it useful life.
3. If it is a mechanical mouse (versus an LED or laser mouse) how sure are you that it just doesn't need cleaning.
4. In short, how sure are you it is a problem with Parallels and not something else?

I have a Logitech optical, corded, USB mouse that works fine with Parallels and apparently everything else.
