You people have been a real help. I still have some
Mystery folders,shutdown problems,and my sound goes on vacation more often than my Doctor plays golf. But all in all this thing is starting to do what I want it to do.I got all the way through a post on acquiring 98SE, and partway through the Norton poll before it locked up. Now I learn that my mouse is worn out. Maybe,it is all of 6 weeks old. It doesn't scroll right. It's not very expensive, (Microsoft Wheel),I inquired about it at Staples and they told me that they all wear out and get loose, no matter how much they cost.They told me to buy an optical one. What this has to do with the quality of the wheel is beyond me.Also I found out that there really is a problem with the Intell.software.for the mouse.It thinks a cat is after it and runs back to the last page visited when I click the wheel. Thanks,Bob. hc@gc |

Mouses do wear out, but not in 6 weeks. "Back" is a common default for a
wheel click - if you want to change it your mouse software gives options for doing that. An optical mouse doesn't have a rolling ball, and that makes it more reliable and less prone to dirt problems. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Bob" wrote in message ...

Thanks,Bob. hc@gc I undestand the ball part,use them at work,I work in auto dealership and the ones we use to connect cars directly to GM website get really filthy sometimes.But the wheel itself is the same as mine. What gets me is I can take a hand held computer,hook it to a car, then to one of our shop computers,then beam that through our wirless network to Gm and reprogram the auto's computers and modules, why can't I get this thing to work for more than 10 minutes at a time. I'll admit this thing is old,but it works fine if I'm offline.Most of my problems are internet or update related. (or what we at work refer to as,"OWNER OPPERATOR ERROR") THANKS Bob. hc@gc . |

I have an intelli optical mouse as well,it wasnt cheap about 3 months ago .
It really is annoying the red light goes out and i get a beep. When you are playing like a war game it really is annoying,i have done all the updates you can think of,uninstalled drivers,re-installed them.I am about to throw it right out the window.
