Unforch, its intermittent, and hasn't done it since the early evening hours 
yesterday.  As an experiment, I just moved another wireless M$ mouse that 
normally sits on a corner of the same mousepad, one thats normally used 
with my lappy, to a point a couple of feet away.  Which if its crosstalk 
in the base station, won't help as the base station is still about 4 feet 
from both mice.  I probably should take the battery out of it when the 
lappy isn't running.  M$ really should have put a power switch on a mouse 
they know very well is going to be used on a lappy cause when you toss it 
in the bag with the rest of the detrius of a laptop, it can't find a pad 
surface and goes blinking crazy till you take the *&^$ battery out.

So I suspect I'm barking up the wrong tree after all...  Sorry.
