We've seen occasional mouse problems here and there. Until I saw this
report I thought that the only outstanding ones were with the logitech
"cloaking" and with Executor under Windows NT.
First, try getting 1.99q7. We fixed some non-mouse related bugs that
are deep enough into Executor that there's a slim chance that they
will get rid of the problem. If that doesn't work, do this (requires
1.99q7):
executor > backtrac
Then when Executor locks up type Ctrl-BREAK (BREAK is probably the
right most key on your keyboard up on the row with the function keys
on it). That should leave a backtrace in the file "backtrac". If you
then send us a copy of backtrac with an explanation that will help us
get a handle on what's going on.

Well, if it's any consolation, we're working around the clock to get
Executor 2 to work with all sorts of hardware/software combinations
that we don't have in house. I apologize for the inconvenience you've
been put through. I suspect we can get things going once we know a
little more.
