How old and/or dirty is the mouse? Sometimes they get dirty and the
button with have some dust so that it works sometimes and not others.

-- Douglas E Knapp Thank you Douglas. The wireless unit with mouse and 
keyboard is new and not dirty. Recently I changed batteries inside the 
mouse. It worked ok in Ubuntu 8.04 but not in 9.04 and 9.10. It also 
won't work in Windows XP to my puzzle. Maybe it is BIOS????? I'll check 
it. Jim
