highlighting them is key. once you put mouse at top of list use touchpad to drag down until all are selected

MollyL

Here too. Once last blast of summer then it will chill down later this week

7:41 am

unfortunately it isnt the mouse . there is something wrong with the port itself. so a wireless wouldnt work either
