Mac: I don't have a wireless mouse or network (yet). I have a cell phone,
moved it and still problem. This problem is about 3 or 4 months old but have
the same pc for 4 years (time for a change). Thanks for your input - John

Greetings: Hopefully I can express this strange problem I have attempting
to
change, modify or access an OE 6 identity. I have set up an identity for
my
grand daughter to teach her email and OE. When attempting to select an
identity to switch to I receive a "shimmering"/vibrating circle 2 inches
in
diameter around the mouse pointer.. The mouse arrow will point to another
identity (of a list of 5) and when I reselect the identity I want it will
point to another identity. This occurs for about 15 seconds and then
stops
where I can select the identity I want. I suspect a prank virus but ... I
use OE 6, Windows XP with all critical updates, MS malware and have
current
virus protection. Thanks for your forthcoming assistance. John L.

Are you using a wireless mouse on a laptop? Press the Ctrl key, do you see
the circle around the mouse?
Do you have other wireless devices nearby such as phones, or a microwave
etc, if so move them.
