Key codes
(OP)
my laptop mouse is wandering all over the screen and I need to open my ACAD drawings from a window XP 2000 operating system. I need key codes instead of using the malfunctioning mouse. Where can I get these two key codes until I can get a new computer?

I had similar issues, and couldn't find where to disable the touch pad even after pointers from IT. Given they eventually gave me a new laptop instead of fixing it I'm guessing they had trouble too.

I have a wireless mouse for my laptop. I had a little wireless mouse receiver plugged into my USB port. One day, I had my mouse in my briefcase next to my laptop, and all sorts of weird things happened to the mouse pointer until I unplugged the receiver.
At home, I plug my laptop into a USB hub. The hub is where my mouse receiver lives. My problem solved, perhaps yours?

Chicopee - I do most of my AutoCAD work on a Dell laptop. I have found that the touchpad and a mouse can coexist most of the time. BUT I have found that the sleeve of my shirt (when typing on the keyboard) brushes the touchpad and sends the cursor off to who knows where. I have also found that the mere brush of a sleeve on a mouse wheel can resize my AutoCAD screen to a view far removed from the project.
Sometimes our computer issues are caused by the least expected.
