MS Trackball Explorer 1.0 - Windows Vista Ultimate
I have now jumped through all the currently known hurdles in about 10 days,
except this one. I cannot find an updated driver for the subject device. All functions work except the 4th of 4 buttons. There is nothing to allow me to set the "programmable" functions. Think about this, I bought the thing because the then new Windows XP did not support my Logitech trackball. After all of these years, I don't want to learn a new one. I can't even find one on the MS Web site for sale. Any ideas? |

I have the Trackball Optical and all the functions work with the latest software. You can get it he http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo.../Download.mspx HTH, Bob |

MS Trackball Explorer 1.0 - Windows Vista Ultimate
I've got a peculiar problem with my new PC (Vista Home Premium) that I've purchased from DELL. To be more precise, it's my 4 years old Trackball Optical that causes me headakes. It slows down the whole starting process up to 5 minutes until I'm able to log in. It took me some time to find out that it actually is this piece of hardware that causes the slowing down of the system. If I use the DELL mouse that has been enclosed to the whole delivery, there hasn't been any problems at all. - But I dodn't like the way it works. So, before I parted from my Trackball, I thought, I keep it and connect it to the computer. I have no clue what I could do to solve the problem, or, first of all, where the problem could be found. I've downloaded the correct driver for my Trackball Opitcal that should be fine with my Vista version. I've installed it before I've connected the hardware. But as soon as I do connect it and make a restart, it takes ages until I'm able to log in. Any help would be most welcome. Thank you! -- Largo |

Are you using it in a usb port or PS/2 port? Where did you get a Vista
driver? "Largo" wrote in message ... I've got a peculiar problem with my new PC (Vista Home Premium) that I've purchased from DELL.

It's an USB port (the machine hasn't any PS/2 ports). The driver can be found he 'Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Hardware - Download Software' (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo...indows%20Vista) -- Largo |
