Interesting. :-)

To answer your question, I think that holding down command, option, and
P & R will reset the PRAM, which should dump it into 24 bit mode.

So with this video card in the system, you have problems under MacOS in 32-
bit mode and not in 24? Is the mouse seize instant, or can you do things
with the computer for a bit before the siesure? This happens both with
extentions off (shift down on boot) and with all extentions on?

Sounds like one of the drivers for the card is not 32-bit clean (suprising
if it's a modern (post 1992) video card). Is there an updated driver?

This is very interesting to us as it might be a warning about drivers on
the card needing an update. Under MacOS, an extention can do this. We
might need to add a way to update the drivers on a card too.

Take care,
