Well, it's loading or you wouldn't have any mouse at all.

I would say you need to get the latest mouse driver from DDPak:

scrollms .exe 87,073 .... 9-13-00 13:52:00

Pretty much. The fix is in pmmerge. I suspect some folks may have
installed a testcase version on FP15.

This is sorta documented. It's an enterprise thing. eCS installs MCP
equivalent versions. Newer versions are on CD#3.

Oh, IBM could have fixed them. I'm sure the decision was based an money
and budgets.

>the Mozilla releases.

In the long term, that's pretty much up to the Open Source community. At
the moment, IBM has chosen to assign employees to work on Mozilla. How
long this will be the case is anyone's guess. Eventually, IBM will decide
the browser they have is good enough and these employees will be off to do
other things.
