Let's suppose you have a Mac+, System 6.0, Finder 6.1. Let's suppose you removed the battery for P-RAM backup and put the Mac in storage for a couple months. When you restore everything to working order, you can set the date and time and speaker volume via the Control Panel just fine. But for some reason, for the Mouse cdev, the mouse speed stubbornly stays on "tablet" (a.k.a. "very slow"). Booting off of System 4.2, where there is no such thing as variable mouse speed, everything behaves as expected. Any advice? ---- "People who get nostalgic | Terence Chang: about childhood were | e-mail: !ucbvax!cory!terence obviously never children." | terence@cory.berkeley.edu "Calvin and Hobbes" | or an acceptable facsimile thereof

You didn't mention whether you were running any inits, but I have seen exactly this behavior when running Stepping Out. Removing Stepping Out from the system folder and rebooting solves the problem Glen
