I'm learning that pretty much anything is a possibility. After the uninstall did you reboot?

Start up is enabled...When I turn on the pc it will load my old desktop only..I then have to go to Start, programs, chose Desktop X and then load the new Theme...All this is done using the keyboard, except when I press start, mouse will allow that function...

do you have dtx set to run at startup? right click systray icon, configure, preferences.

If dtx is not running at startup, and you can't use your mouse...i'm guessing the conflict is in the mouse somewhere.

after installing a new Logitech mouse and then un-installing it that my current Logitech mouse is conflicting with the old software even thought it was removed


is the order correct here? what i'm reading is you installed a new mouse, then uninstalled that mouse. Is you current mouse the new mouse or the old mouse? and did you uninstall the old one or the new one?

Sorry for the confusion, I uninstalled the new mouse and currently using the old mouse. When I did the initial install, I named the program Logitech 2. I looked for it in the add/remove list and did not see it there. I think it maybe running somewhere but dunno where to look...Thanx

Can you find it in your all programs list? programs folder?

How did you uninstall it, if you couldn't find it?
