Keyboard/Mouse or Joystick

[s2odan]

I did some checking on the internet and it turns out that most of them just don't work anymore. Typical. Although there are sporadic reports from people with varous OS including win7 where it has worked, its just plain odd.The Driver/software just does not see the mouse, the fix I tried was to force the software to find the mouse, but it obviously doesnt work for win7, The mouse is probably 10 years old

Another option,I had a look into this problem and like you said there is known problems with the drivers on more recent OSs, however I may have found a solution by way of Setpoint from Logitech. Here is a Wiki listing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SetPointAnd here is a link to a post I found were someone solved the middle button problem http://www.realgeek.com/forums/logitech-trackball-139112.htmlBut maybe you have already tried this? If you have then apologies again.

Setpoint 4 was the driver from that other site although they didnt make it very clear that its what you were downloading. I also tried the newer setpoint6.1. It is the software (setpoint) itself that doesnt seem to work correctly (it doesn't pick up the mouse) :(Its probably either win7x64 or my mouse is too old. But my mouse is not as old as I thought it was. It is usb, has a laser inside/ir beam instead of pads/rollers so I would have thought it would work.Thanks anyway.

That's a shame S20dan It is a nice trackball too. I was even thinking of getting one. At the moment I am repairing my old Amiga one, or trying to at any rate!
