Perhaps you have a cat on your box? Try typing 'cat' at the command prompt if you get a newline then type some characters and hit return. If cat mimicks what you just typed then you know you have a mean cat on your box. She is probably scaring the mouse. Just hit CTRL-C to kill the cat. Of course, cat has nine lives so you will have to kill it nine times. Everyone knows that cat and mouse don't mix well. You may have to get rid of one of them. I would keep cat as it is much more useful than mouse. In any case, I would try to keep the mouse as far away from the box as the cable will allow. :) Thank you, Jason C.
