Sure Nimmy, I will help when your laptop arrives. But be warned, it will cost more than a skeleton key!

Thanks to everyone who helped out. Dark Nemesis made the mistake of immediately calling the shop and getting on the phone with me for """over an hour"""

. Luckily for me, he was able to save my INFI bacon.

He has opted to save $100.00 on the price of a monsto custom that he has on order instead of the Skeleton Key. He tried to order a SK with a 10" long blade but I convinced him that there might be a slight "balance" issue!!!!!

I now have another problem with this puppy that involves the cursor drawing boxes and highlighting everything that it passes over. . . but hopefully that will simply, just go away!!!

Thanks boys,

Jerry

The mouse driver is just confused. Rebooting will likely fix the box drawing problem.

Windows 9X and its derivatives don't allow you to shut down and restart the mouse service manually.

I still think the 10" SK would have worked, you just can't see the genius of my idea

Nimrod,
I would gladly help you out.
I don't know everything, but would help as far as I could.

I am having computer trouble as well...

No matter what I do my computer keeps popping up Internet Explorer and showing me this forum, the swamp, and the for sale page... it is not making sense and I am not sure what to do.

Sounds like the INFI.b virus. From what I've read the http://www.bussecombat.com/ website is infected with it

Sorry to hear about the virus guys. I am actually a highly trained expert in this particular field, I kid you not. I can produce my qualifications upon demand.

Unfortunately the only cure for this virus is cold turkey. I will send you my address, and you can package and send all of your Busse knives to me.

I'm sorry if this sounds like tough love, but it really is the only way. I only tell you this because - I care!

Et T,et als:

Thanks for your offers of help. I will most likely receive the unit in about two weeks. Once it arrives, I'm sure I'll be waving the white flag and contacting you.

Thanks in advance.
