    Looks like it should be:

    Code:
    MouseMove, 200, 200
    Did you miss that comma?

    No, they're not, therein lies the problem. The older BIOS systems expect to read from drive A: and read like a floppy. You have to configure a USB drive with a floppy-emulating file system so that the BIOS recognizes it as drive A: and can read as expected...It's stupid.

    The newer bios can pull and update directly from the internet, they're amazing, and I can't wait until all old MB's are replaced with ones with new BIOS's

    Ooooh. I just saw that her computer was 5 years old so that's all I was thinking of. Didn't think those still had floppys. How far back do you have to go to be updating a computer that needed floppy?

    Code:
    MouseMove, 200, 200, 0
    If you add a third zero it moves it instantly. If you don't put a third number it will drag the mouse, but it does it quickly. I think the default speed is the same as 2.

    I decided to be healthy this morning so I'm eating Doritos for breakfast. They're ranch dipped hot wings flavor if anyone is dying to know.

    Yeah, I didn't realize how little I knew until I started turking. Often get lost in some of the conversations here - BUT on the flip side, feel like I've managed to pick up a lot of knowledge and make money doing it. So win win.

    And fwiw - turns out my laptop is new enough to update from the internet - thx! Trying that and I'll put an external fan on it until we decide if it's worth taking in and having someone look at the fan.

    Maybe, but not likely because of the way the stuff on the MB is initialized. It doesn't actually read from the HD while in the bios, it'll do its boot up and self checks, then when it passes over to the HD it unloads the bios. A ghost drive would require reading from the HD to get it "plugged in" as far as I know...I could be wrong though.

    They don't require a floppy disk, they require a floppy format, mainly because the bios and cmos were too small to hold the drivers for different file systems etc. I'm not sure when they fixed the issue, but I know older computers are difficult to update the bios on.

    To be completely honest, I'm not 100% sure on all of this stuff, do your own research. I'm just conjecturizing based on what I know. I know that the bios passes to the HD, and nothing on the drive is read before then (besides RAID stuff I think). I know that you have to reformat the USB disk to FAT16 (floppy filesystem), and I remember having to download some utility or something that emulated a floppy drive with the flash drive. I don't do it that often.
