Hi
I am runnig Windows Vista Enterprise and I have an intellimouse optical. I have the two side buttons set up as cut and paste. When I run an application as administrator, the side buttons do not seem to do anything. What do I need to do to set the button actions for admin? Glenn |

When you run as administrator, you are actually running as a different user. You could run the mouse configuration software as administrator and set up your preferences from there.

Thanks Malke
I have tried that, but it made no difference. I have even reinstalled the mouse drivers by uninstalling then running the mouse driver exe as admin and no luck.

Then I guess you have to live with it. Generally you only run a specific task as administrator for a limited time, so it shouldn't be too onerous to use Ctrl-C, etc. for a little while. Sorry I was unable to help you. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

Hi,
As Malke has indicated, when you do that you are actually invoking a different user account. You need to actually log in to that user account and change configuration setttings for the mouse. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "bloomers" wrote in message ...
