As before it was fixed, it got even worse. To the point of not being able to use many programs. Especially those that required mouse or cursor navigation. So I installed Logitech Options and that must have fixed the mouse driver problem, but it locked me out of the mouse and cursor navigation. Uninstalled Logi Options and hey, I can select text again and navigating in Google Maps and Google Earth works again. Although I do have to give credit to Google Gemini as I just asked it how to fix the mouse glitch and we went from there for half an hour. I now know I urgently need a new motherboard, or the barebones system, as my present motherboard's south bridge is causing all the problems. Gemini did give me a script to rescan the USB ports after Windows startup, so I put it as a scheduled task in Task Scheduler. Hope it works.

But then I have a working keyboard. I have a new motherboard, it's been laying here for slightly over a year. Trouble is, the one I have now is an Asrock (my fave brand), the replacement is a Gigabyte which is my nemesis, I always have problems with them. So hesitant to replace it and fix Windows (10). Maybe once I am completely out of my depression. Or maybe I'll just give up on the big case and plug in a small NUC or other Barebone system and add the present SSD and HDD in an enclosure. Wholly before that I want to try flashing the BIOS to a lower version, as now there's one on that allows a Ryzen 3900x CPU, whereas the present CPU in there is just a 2700x that doesn't need the BIOS that's on there.

6) Message boards : The Lounge : The Seti is Slumbering Cafe Message 119309 Posted 2 days ago by Jord	Ah, I did post it in the wrong thread. I'll copy it to the right one then. I posted it quickly with my phone, as my main system developed the dreaded "left-click won't work (reliably) anymore" bug. Left-click only works after several clicks, selecting text is impossible, none of the fixes out there worked for me. And that's on top of a half busted motherboard that has USB problems on its own.

10) Message boards : The Lounge : Grumbles, Glory and All Your Off Topic Discussions Message 119246 Posted 14 days ago by Jord	I read that and wondered if the owner of the car, dog and shotgun, if one and the same person, would get punished for this, or is she punished enough already with her wound and hospital bill?

17) Message boards : The Lounge : The Seti is Slumbering Cafe Message 119200 Posted 19 days ago by Jord	I've finally gotten an answer from Eric: We had some unauthorized access to the machines through a user account whose password hadn't been changed in 20 years (and was probably reused on other sites that had had data breaches). For unrelated reasons we aren't able to start an audit of the website security before 5/26, so the safest action was to bring it down until we can do so. If things become difficult there is a chance I may decide to keep it down.
