Mouse settings reset to default every time
Hi! I changed my mouse settings to switch the "right-click" and "left-click"
buttons (as if for left-handed) - but every time I log out, restart, anything... it changes itself back to the default. How do I make this setting permanent? |

I'm having a similar problem. Are you using a Logitech mouse?

Yes, it is a Logitech - actually a wireless track-ball.

Mouse settings reset to default every time
I've seen a number of other postings about this issue. Most seem to involve
people using a Logitech pointing device. I removed Logitech's Setpoint program from my start up programs, and afterwards the problem was solved. However, without running the Setpoint program, one does not have full funtionality of the wireless mouse and keyboard. Since I just bought my wireless keyboard and mouse, I'm thinking of returning them and getting a microsoft product, which should not have such issues with Vista. Let me know if you find another solution. "dkswenson" wrote: Yes, it is a Logitech - actually a wireless track-ball. "mark.g" wrote: I'm having a similar problem. Are you using a Logitech mouse?

Even removing all Logitech software did not fix my problem. Restarting or
logging off / then logging on always resets the mouse to the default settings. My work-around is to avoid logging off or restarting - I just "hibernate" when I'm not active on the computer. This seems the only way to avoid resetting the mouse buttons. "mark.g" wrote: I've seen a number of other postings about this issue. Most seem to involve people using a Logitech pointing device.

hmmmm. This would make it seem like a Vista, as opposed to a Logitech
problem. Have you sought help from Microsoft? "dkswenson" wrote: Even removing all Logitech software did not fix my problem.

I initially had the same problem when I removed all my Logitech software.
But you can fix the problem by typing "msconfig" in the search bar at the bottom of the start menu. That will bring up the systems configuration dialog box. Go to the "start up" tab and deselect all remaining Logitech items (for some reason, some remain even after uninstalling the program). After applying the change (to deselect the Logitech items), the problem will be fixed on all subsequent reboots. I returned the Logitech desktop and bought the Microsoft Laser Desktop 6000 (59.99 with rebate from Tiger Direct or J&R Music). Good luck.
