Mousekeys alternatives?
My battered optical mouse finally quit (is why I write so much right now, it
limits most of the other stuff I'm meant to be doing). I put in MouseKeys but although I like the speed/acceleration/direction control, I hate the bad ways it manages clicks and drags. I found NumPad Mouse which gets those better, but really doesn't do the positional cotrol at all well. Does anyone know of other things to try? Also, if there is a way to use the Logitech driver's 'Smart Move' and 'HyperJump' with MouseKeys or similar tools, please tell me if you know it. I suspect there isn't one though, the MouseKeys VXD's probably manipulate the cursor control directly, it's probably not mediated by any part of a standard mose driver. But I still hope it might be, because I discovered that I do still need the standard driver installed, or MouseKeys will hang the system fairly spectacularly when I try to move the cursor. |

EMERGENCY HELP! Accidentally overwrote folder with another, same name!
Apologies, this was the ONLY was to post to this group!
HELP! Accidentally erased a folder and its multitude of subfolders with a simpler folder and its two subfolders with the same name! How to recover? Using XCOPY in attempt to synchronize multiple systems, accidentally overwrote a folder originally containing many, many subfolders and replaced it with a folder of the same name and only its two subfolders! F: drive is the memory stick: Only one file in the root folder needed to be updated. The bat file contained this XCOPY /D /E /C /Y F:\Folder\*.* C:\Folder\*.* sadly, the F drive only had a single file I was trying to synchronize, but the batch file overwrote/removing all the sufolders on the C drive The system is NOT being used until I get an answer from this group. Need to know if there is someway to undo all this damage. |

A really good idea is if the other machine is also running win-98 AND NOT XP (any NT-based OS likes to get really busy with any new drive connected to it - and the last thing you need is for the OS to start getting busy with that drive). I'd look into Hiren's Boot CD. Lots of drive tools on it. I'd personally just resort to using some of the norton tools (unerase, ndd, etc). As a last resort - Lost and Found. It can be found on Hiren's CD too. |

One good tool I've found for recovering files when others fail is Easeus
Data Recovery Wizard. You might want to check it out. Robert Macy wrote: Apologies, this was the ONLY was to post to this group! HELP!

: Again, apologies to Lostgallifreyan for pirating his mouse question No worries. I solved that for now anyway, using an RS232 drivern touchscreen. I'm still interested in keyboard-driven mouse replacements though, as would anyone be if their mouse breaks on a bank holiday weekend... |
