Thank you for getting back to me. I'm running XP SP2 Office 2003. Even as I
type this, there is a tiny dot appearing momentarily as the insertion point
blinks off. Normally this would not be a problem... but I was trying to type
a domain name into the network setup wizard and I keep getting a message that
says I have typed in an illegal character. It's the spot! I have tried
everything I can think of to remove the dot...but it refuses to go. Nothing
simple like deleting, using the keyboard direction keys, checking the mouse
,uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse. The main reason this is so critical
is that I have some how been locked out of the computer, I am using safe mode
with network support at the moment. I cannot log in normally on any account
as the domain is missing ! Does this make any sense? I would really
appreciate any advice you could give! Thank you in anticipation.
