 Ok, I can look. FWIW, I unplugged the ps/2 mouse and tried an usb
 mouse. It worked fine.
 Also, and I'll follow-up on another email, but tried installing 7.0.1
 on another K8 system and it wouldn't boot, because it didn't recognize
 the cd player :(
 
 I'll get back as soon as I can try switching those off in bios.
 
 Thanks :)
 Mike
