I have a mighty mouse (the one with the scroll nipple), and for some reason I can only scroll upwards properly, scrolling down does not work or scrolls down slow and jerkily.
View 6 RepliesI don't know why but I like the Mighty Mouse. I recently purchased the Bluetooth. I guess I enjoy the BT, trackball, and weight. It is a tad too stripped down (could really use forward/back buttons) and the side button seems to need a lot of pressure to activate. But overall I do seem to enjoy using it.
View 10 Replies View RelatedSolved issue of fan-noise in my T430 Lenovo thinkpad. I bought it 1 and half year before. Now I have following problems those I noticed recently in my machine.
(1) Two fingers mouse scrolling has stopped working.
(2) Whenever I press volume buttons I can not see the volume bar on the screen. Same when I press CAPS LOCK i can not see the notification on my screen.
What I must update in my machine.
Has anyone found a better solution to the slow Magic Mouse tracking problem than the "Mouse Zoom" utility?
Does anyone know if Apple has plans to fix the problem, once and for all, with a native OS update?
Now that the new MBPs have arrived, they come with a new feature called inertial scrolling (like flick-scrolling on the iPhone).
Is this feature specifically hardware dependent or could this feature be implemented into the OS via a application like Bettertouchtools?
Are there any apps out there right now that has this feature?
I have a MacBook Pro (MBP) with OSX 10.5.6. I use Logitech Bluetooth (BT) mouse and it works OK under OSX.
However, in Boot Camp running Windows XP SP2, the scroll wheel does not work. Everything else, like left and right buttons work. I tried it with another BT mouse and it's the same thing.
If I tried using regular wireless mouse, everything works.
i have a ACER Travelmate 2482WXMi, i have done a fresh install of windows XP home, i have done a full format of the hard drive, but i have issues the touchpad will not work only in safe mode. I have installed most of the drivers through safe mode, but the mouse will only work when i connect an external mouse when it's in normal mode.
Also i do get some bad sectors on the hard drive, and it takes over 2mins to shut down the comp. I havent installed programs yet, except PC Wizard 2008. Also the laptop is not the base model with 512MB ram i have added a 1gb stick and it works fine. I am thinking maybe its the hard drive. If
Sometimes my cursor changes into a shape that's not in the list of possible mouse pointers and I can't print screen it, because it's not in the image when I search it..
It looks like this: 2small white triangles with a white line in between. Sometimes they point left and right, and my pc starts scrolling sideways, and sometimes they point up and down and it starts scrolling downwards.
I updated a lot of drivers and restarted my pc. I scanned for viruses, but nothing could be found.
It happens with or without a mouse inserted. It's really annoying, because surfing on the internet becomes frustrating.
O yeah, that pc doctor from the dell site did not find anything either.
It's a relatively new inspiron laptop (less than a year) and I have this problem since the beginning.
I recently had to get a new hard drive for my laptop which is an Inspiron N5010 with Windows 7 and since I have gotten it back my touchpad scrolling no longer works like it did before and I cant find the setting to fix this issue.

Works fine when the power adapter is attached. Tried different settings in the power. This happens for both wireless through USB or wired..
The trackpoint middle scrolling button doesn't work for some of the newer applications such as ITunes, the newest versions of Picasa, Windows Live Mail, Safari, and Windows Live Writer.
Below is a fix applicable to all Windows OS's. The location of the edited file may vary so look in the Device Manager under trackpoint driver details to find driver locations.
The file must be edited as an administrator in Vista and Windows 7. To do this, at the programs box type in notepad and on the notpad program in the menu right click and select, "Run as Administrator."
In Win7 x64 it is located at: (edit with Notepad run as Administrator).

Two finger scrolling now works on the synaptics touchpad of my dv7
I had previously attempted to use modded drivers and other apps (none of which worked), but surprisingly, synaptics seems to have enabled it all by themselves in the latest driver, which is part of scrybe.
More about scrybe: [url]
Guide:
1. Download the ScrybeSetup.exe file from here (you can enter a junk email): [url]
2. Install the software (Make sure it installs both scrybe and the new driver)
2.1 Restart
3. Go to Control Panel>Mouse>Device Settings (Tab)>Highlight Synaptics Touchpad Vx.x> then click settings
4. Once you have the Touchpad settings windows open, you can change all kinds of settings:
Multifinger Gestures>Two Finger Scrolling (Click the gears next to the name)
Multifinger Gestures>Rotating (Click the gears next to the name)......
I've noticed that in a few applications, specifically Outlook 2013 and Visual Studio, using the two-finger slide on the touchpad causes it to zoom instead of scroll. In other places, like web browsing, the functionality works normally. A few weeks back I refreshed my system and for a short time the issue went away...but now it's back.
I'm running a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with the latest drivers from the support site.
I have also already tried turning off and on again the "turn off mouse pad" button that the computer has. And it's only sometimes when I boot up the computer it won't responed, then I have to turn it off and turn it back on again in order for it to work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust bought an Aspire ES1-511. Not my first Windows 8.1 laptop, but my first with UEIF firmware.
I've been trying to boot Driveimage from CD to do an offline backup, and guess what, it wouldnt recognise the CD as bootable. Fixed that by setting the boot type to "Legacy" in the BIOS and it boots fine.
My problem is that the mouse doesnt work after booting from the CD. Watching the behaviour of the mouse, it powers up when I press the power button, but powers off immediately the POST completes.
If booting Windows from the HD, power to USB is restored as soon as windows loads to the lock screen.
need help getting mouse to work on laptop
View 10 Replies View Related have found the keyboard on its own for a bargain price, however it does not come with the USB bluetooth adaptor, just the keyboard on its own.
My question is will the keyboard (and the mouse if I ever buy it seperately) work with my Studio 15's built in bluetooth?
I have googled for ages on this but can't get a definitive answer. There have been mentions of 'no' some people say yes but you have to change the bluetooth stack e.t.c.
I bought precision m6700 and WM713 wireless mouse.I turned on my mouse, connected to my precision by usb which came with mouse, and it paired with my computer, device and printers shows there is WM713 wireless touchmouse.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAs a confirmed trackpoint user, having the mouse built into the trackpad of the T431s is causing me all sort of grief, including sore wrists - but there are two problems I can't seem to diagnose.
1) When clicking the pad for left mouse click, it often does not work until I click it a few times. I notice this more when I disable the trackpad for cursor movement (which I had to do because the cursor moves when I try to click) - but its there even when that is enabled. It comes and goes. I guess there could be some foot trapped in there, but I've only had it a week and been pretty careful. I'd rather not learn to remove the keyboard on day 6.
2) The right click gets into a condition where, when browsing,a click brings up a new tab of the link I clicked on, rather than showing me the options (open in new tab, incognito window, save link, etc). If I connect a real mouse, it is normal.
My MacBook Pro used to shutdown in about 6 seconds. Now it takes over 40. I've added and removed a lot of software over time and am wondering if there are shutdown procedures being run where the software doesn't exist (resulting in a long search for shutdown programs that ultimately fail). Could someone tell me the filename and directory of the file that calls other scripts to shutdown? I'd like to take a look at this file to see if there's stuff in it that shouldn't be there. Alternative a shutdown log (if such a thing exists)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a Bluetooth mouse for my MBP.
There is Apple Magic Mouse, but I am still not sure on its ease and usability. Even though I need it for my notebook I dont want the very small notebook mice, since I will be attaching my MBP to external monitor most of the times, a desktop Bluetooth mouse would be preferred.
I even bought this cute Razer mouse hoping their drivers would disable mouse acceleration. Logitech drivers are useless, by the way. Never install them.
The Razer drivers even have a box for 'acceleration', but it appears to toggle between 'less acceleration' and 'a lot more accleration'. I submitted a spport ticket with Razer, but do any of you have a suggestion? For the record, I've tried Steermouse, USB Overdrive. Neither completely disables mouse acceleration, regardless of what their options imply. After a lot of testing, there still exists a noticeable amount of mouse acceleration no matter what drivers/programs I use.
I actually find it easier to use the multi touch compared to the mouse somehow, the touchpad is big so i can navigate as easily as with a mouse and the multitouch gestures make it so much better to use.
I was thinking of getting a mighty mouse but im not sure its worth it as apple gestures make navigateing so good. are the press buttons on the mighty mouse just 1 button or two.
Magic Mouse driver for windows, I can verify the X64 works on Win 7, Darn things were hiding in the Bluetooth update [url]
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've tried Steermouse, great app when it works. It keeps "disabling" itself every so often. I'm guessing it's a bug that has to do with switching apps. It works when I fire it up again. But is there another program that can allow me to specially keybind certain things to my mouse *AND* disable mouse acceleration? (oh I love you steermouse for removing mouse accel!)
View 3 Replies View Relatedjust the way i liked it like windows' mouse.
downside though, when i use it with my logitech vx (800dpi) the distance needed to travel across the screen is so huge i will need another desk just for the mouse! it become natural however when i am on my lachesis with driver settings done in windows. sure i don't get all the buttons configured, but at least it is finally decent, besides the wheel(click) and the two buttons, there are 2 responsible for changing profiles, 2 for dpi adjustment and one more for expose
verdict: DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT APPLE!
for those who doesn't know:
open up terminal, type down the following,
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
restart computer and there you go. as long as you don't touch the mouse speed setting the status is maintained. you might want to have a gaming mouse though
