[BC] computer question

[DANA PUOPOLO]

I have seen this before. In my case it was caused by RFI. Try bypassing the
mouse line where it comes into the computer with .05 caps to ground from each
active wire. Also, you might try using shielded cable for the mouse extension
wire.

If all else fails, then you can always get a Cybex unit....

Hello most worthy brain trust, and RF guys also,

I have a problem (again) with computer technology.
I just installed a 64 X 64 audio router, but can't use it because
the mouse won't work!!  Here is the situation:

The operator is some 50 feet from the router computer. This thing is rack
mounted,
and there is also another exact same type computer that IS working. The
difference is op systems.
The working unit is WIN NT, the in-op system is WIN XP PRO.  I have 50 foot
extention cables
on the keyboard and mouse of the XP unit.  The keyboard works, but not the
mouse. I reversed the kyboard 
and mouse cables, same result. To check, I moved the mouse cable from the
OPERATING computer (NT) 
to the XP unit.  The mouse quit working. Move it back, all is happy.

Our computer "expert", who the government has spent 30K $$ on for computer
training, doesn't have
any idea why it won't work.  I have always gotten excellent advice from this
group.

The router can be controlled from the rack mounted mouse/keyboard, and with a
"real" mouse plugged in.
I can't make the final connections until I can operate the system from the
operator's console. 
I need to remove the audio lines from the old 3-M system and move them to the
SAS 32KD system.

Anywho..thanks for any and all help.

John @ VOA / Delano
