i use my intelli mouse explorer on the ps2 port too and there aren't any problems - only the lower refresh rate usb has 100hz, and ps2 40 or 80, don't know exactly, for win9x there are tools to set this to up to 200hz - does anyone know of such a tool for win2k ?

this might not help your problem - but - can anyone tell me where to find this ntbackup tool you're talkin about

i've tried out all these pads at a lan some weeks ago, and i can say that the funcsurface1030(http://www.func.net) is definetely the best, - it has too surfaces (one like rough like the everglide, the other smooth like the 3M) - it doesn't wear of nearly as fast as all the others - it has a mouse clip - and the best design (imo) buy it @ http://www.everglide.com !
