[Magdalen] Computer woes

[Charles Wohlers]

If you're using a USB mouse (USB connector), try looking around and see if 
you have an old mouse with a different (round) connector.

"Recovery discs" often don't have the complete operating system on them, 
meaning you wouldn't be able to use it to replace a dead hard drive. In your 
case, it appears that a driver necessary to make the mouse work is missing. 
And that may just be the start. A call to Dell or HP or whoever made your 
computer may be necessary.

Tried that - still no way to move the cursor.

I will have to re-install Sibelius (Music Notation Software) and a couple
of others.
