Middle mouse nightmare

Make sure SW is in the Wheel tab under Wheel troubleshooter\Advanced button.

Hi Seth,

Your right, Intellipoint 4.1 was the last version to have the wheel troubleshooter. The wheel troubleshooter fixed your problem but never told you what it did which is just rude anyways. I imagine it just toggles a registry value?

Also, newer versions of intellipoint severly limits the key assignments you can assign to the side buttons etc. All in all an example of negeative progress....

I bought a new intellipoint mouse a few months ago and ended up returning it because of these software changes.

May I ask what you're using instead? I eyeball the cordless logitach mice from time to time, but I wonder if they too have driver issues with SW.

hey dale, about using a logitech wireless mouse. i've been using one for about a month so far. the only problem I've experienced was in the mouse software there is a tab called motion. be sure and uncheck the box (which defaults to checked) titled "disable accelaration in games". otherwise, you can go and retreive a cup of java by the time you move the mouse cursor from top of screen to bottom of screen in sworx.

Thanks for the info. I've been using a MS Optical for the last few years, and I've never been completely happy with it. I have a useful version of the drivers, but the ergonomics aren't what I want.

Hi Brian,

Go to the intellipoint software ->

Wheel (a tab in the dialogue) ->

Advanced ->

Tell it to "Turn off wheel support for the following programs:"

You might need to add solidworks.

This might be your problem.

Good Luck-

I added solidworks to the Troubleshooting/Advanced section, and so far it seems to be working properly. Thanks!

I use Logitech all the time with SW. They are the best.

I'd say get this one...

We use here the Logitech Cordless mouseman (with thumb button) with SW without problems. We programmed the thumb button as ESC-key, works fine. In Win98 times, we even used the Logitech drivers for the Microsoft mices, used by the other people in the office, because the Logitech drivers were better.

Hi Dale,

I went back to my optical intellimouse, I'm really use to the side buttons now and the wheel troubleshooter is apparently essential.
