It should be possible to disable the right hand button in a mouse. I am not sure if this can be done in software; in principle yes, practically speaking, probably not. The switch is probably deeply buried in there somewhere. BUT, I am fairly certain that this can be done in "hardware". If you tell me what kind of computer, what kind of mouse plug you have I will see if I can find an old mouse and disable the right hand button. I could then send it to you. Please be aware that you need this button for certain set-up operations, but if you keep the two button mouse it can be substituted for those operations. K. F.

Would a trackball mouse work bettter since she would not have to clutch the mouse to move it? She had always used a Mac which has a one button mouse. I set up the PC for her since I had an extra. Works great, just need to get a mouse that she can't torture with her temors. Are there keyboards with larger buttons? That might help, too. > >Any other hints you have would be helpful, I'm sure. > >Thanks! > >Cj > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] >In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn >Friend is 54, diagnosed at 49, from Indiana > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
