   Howdy!,   
      
   EarIier I wrote about the Mouse being clicked on a opened window on the   
   desktop and nothing happening.   
      
   A lot of times I "Cured" that by Restarting XP and then being able to see   
   the Mouse doing what I was wanting "IT" to do.   
      
   Yesterday, after that happened again, instead of Restarting XP I tried   
   Hibernating instead.   
      
   After the Pilot Light on the Power Button turned OFF, I waited One Minute   
   and then pressed the Poser Button.   
      
   I was delighted to see the Mouse Clicks I made did what I was wanting done.   
      
   HMMM??????, I would had thought Hibernating XP just Saved the Settings   
   As They Were at the time XP started Hibernating and used THOSE SETTING   
   as they were Saved on the HD to "Refresh" all of the Settings as they   
   were.   
      
   I am VERY GLAD that choosing to Hibernate instead or Restart "cured"   
   whatever setting that was causing the Mouse not to do what "I" wanted   
   "IT" to do.   
      
   My way of "thinking" is the Restarting Option takes longer to Shut Down XP,   
   and a long time to get XP to show the Log On screen after it began   
   Restarting.   
      
   Hibernation seems to be quicker to Shut Down XP and not as long of a wait   
   for the Log On screen to show up on the screen.   
      
   But what do I know about all this PC stuff?   
      
   I'm glad to write a Good Report about happenings in my computer room instead   
   of belly aching about the troubles that bother me.
