Kensington Mouseworks compatibility and problems of locking of the click in Windows 7

I tried to post on this thread that talks about these issues, but the thread seems to be stuck and will not let me add a post:

http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/GettingReadyforWindows7/thread/2c4165be-65cf-40c4-9FF2-3c7a50e1893a

The question about us (the largest trackball mouse ever invented) of Kensington Expert Mouse die-hard users! It is a 4 button mouse with hot - more configurable buttons and scroll wheels.  A very good product, but Kensington says they will not refresh the Mouseworks software to ensure the compatibility of windows 7.

On the thread that the above, we all discovered that you can install the drivers using the compatibility mode and run as administrator and it works just great.

However, I am having a rather serious bug which could be related to a problem with this software/driver and windows 7.

Every so often, and I can't find a way to repeat this bug, the mouse click will engage at all times.  There seems to be no way to unlock a left click of the mouse click.  Of course, this prevents the active window attached to the top and unusable.  Alt + Tab to new windows still work and all functions of the system remain intact, except the possibility of uncheck and therefore release the last active home window of the application involved.

The only solution I found is to stop (which takes a few keyboard focus navigation because the lock may make it difficult to navigate through the menus and options to shutdown gracefully).

To restart everything's fine again.

I have confirmed 100% that this is not a hardware failure with the mouse (I can disconnect via USB and plug in my laptop Win XP and the mouse works fine) to plug into the Win7 machine mouse is recognized and works but the ClickLock is still in place.

Anyone experience this problem or similar problems? Is it related to Kensington Mouseworks or is this bug actually goes to other people on different system configurations?

Also... Yes I checked to make sure that keys sticky and related accessibility options are fully disabled and not the source of the problem (although...) I guess it is possible that this bug is related to accessibility options / features).

Thoughts, confirmations of same bug, or solutions would be very appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. Article that you have accessed is the same one I linked in my original post, and most are talking about people not getting it to work at all... when in fact you can get it to work by installing in compatibility mode.

As in my original post, behavior and functionality is impeccable to 99.9999% of the time, but then this bug sometimes manifests itself.

It would be good to know if other users are experiencing the same bug that I am

  • Bar menu and toolbar buttons missing in the bookmarks library window

    I use Firefox v.3.6.6 and take a college course on the use of e-Business, which refers to the Firefox "Bookmarks manager" window. Finally, I learned through this forum that the name was changed to "library". (Please tell us!) However, I see a typical menu bar and a row of buttons on toolbar below that in the screenshot. And I can't find any information in the forum about how to enable these features, or what happened to them.

    Thank you for any information and help on this topic!

    I recommend not all of what is called "update managers'. Why? I want to know what is installed on my system, when and by what comes in the update. I also want to follow the update process so that the articles 'extra', such as toolbars and search engines does not get installed on my system. Look how many people on this forum asking how to remove tall, mywebsearch, etc., or a toolbar that they insist that they not have installed. This kind of cr * p - ware comes with free downloads is installation of people. Some security software developers are including even this junk, because they get a small amount for each installed - SHAME on THEM!

    To update and maintain your system up-to-date is part of a user responsible for computer/internet. If you get lax, then you run the risk of transmitting malware, friends, family or co-workers. Why lock us our doors, set the alarm, etc., when you leave the House or lock our cars when you go inside a commercial shop? To try to keep the bad guys! It applies to keep your computer up to date and protected.

    Which I'll talk takes 5-10 minutes a week to be sure that you are up-to-date; a little more if you need to update an element. Even 5 minutes a day for the average user don't ask too much, considering the possible, and costimplications of contracting a virus/trojan really bad or another infection of malware on your system.

    We are all busy and never seem to have enough time. But a couple Youtube videos per week or per day, or a game or folded, is all it takes!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620: Analysis of problems of printer to the computer using windows 10

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 and now I'm not able to scan from the printer to the computer. I can scan the other way IE. computer to scan but is not as convenient. I had no question before the upgrade. The error message I get is


    "The analysis could not be performed because of one or more of the following problems:

    -Connection to the computer is lost.

    -L' scanning on the computer application is currently in use.

    -Application OCR is not installed on the computer.

    See the computer for details screen'.

    First of all it is connected with a usb cable, so no logical reason why the connection is lost.

    Secondly it is not used because I am trying to use it

    Third, it has baffled me because there is no reason why the OCR application is now gone, he worked before windows 10.

    and finally there is no detail on the computer screen, why it tells me that I do not understand.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello again,

    Looks like the next option is to uninstall & reinstall the printer software. This will ensure that the scan to computer option is restored.

    Please find the link below to install the printing software.

  • Problem recording photo after the edition of windows live photo gallery

    Whenever I try to edit an image in windows live gallery and try to save it, I get the following message appears AN ERROR IS PREVENTING PHOTO GALLERY OF SAVING THIS PHOTO.

    Can you offer me a solution or let me know if microsoft has a fix for this problem

    Hi jetparjas,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    You use software to back up your information?
    Maybe a new external drive with a backup program?
    Using drive encryption?

    Looks like some program prevents the Gallery to save changes, this usually occurs with a backup software that monitors changes in the files. Sometimes the software that allows us to make changes think the file is open somewhere else and it will not save.

    You can try to perform a clean boot to see if a startup program is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to solve problems in Windows Vista by performing a clean boot. This article also describes how to start the Windows Installer service and how to reset the computer so that it starts as usual.

    Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

    If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

    a. log in the computer using an account with administrator rights.

    b. click on start toreduce this includes this image, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    Reduce this includes this imageIf you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue.

    c. under the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the Load Startup items check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)

    d. on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services check box and then click on disable all.

    Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

    e. click OK, and then click restart.

    Step 2: Enable half the services

    a. follow steps 1a and 1B to start the System Configuration utility.

    b. click on the Services tab and then click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box.

    c. Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

    d. click OKand then click restart.

    Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one service is selected in the list of services , and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to step 6. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

    Step 4: Enable half of the startup items

    a. perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

    b. click on the Startup tab and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

    c. click OK, and then click restart.

    Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

    If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.

    Step 6: Resolve the problem

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Step 7: Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    Click on start toreduce this includes this image, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

    Reduce this includes this imageIf you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue.

    On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

  • When you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the photo in Windows Media Player.

    * Original title: Windows Media PLayer

    I have Windows Media Player version 12 installed but when you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the picture.  Please see image attached.

    Even if I see that I can change the version of the file in a different format, I have the same problem with videos on websites that I can not of course change the format before playing these.

    I managed to fix the problem for about 20 minutes by flattening my computer re - install the operating system and this resolved until all updates have been through, and then it disappeared again.  I tried many codecs packs and this still does not help.

    My system is running Windows 7 and Media Player version is 12.0.7601.18840, which tells me that Media Player is the most recent version.

    Please can someone help?

    Open uninstall a program in windows and in the left click on the feature to turn on or off windows. Clear the check box of the window Media Player, and then click ok. This will uninstall the drive, and then restart.

    After restarting the same steps, now, check the box for the same and perform a restart and if all goes well it should solve the problem.

    Note: Make sure that Windows is up-to-date.

  • Pavilion Dv6 - startup with beep continuous and wouldn't start without the CD inside windows

    Hi, so I was using my laptop one day, perfectly fine and I got sick, so I had it turned off for about 2 or 3 days. When I turned it back on it started constantly beep (1 beep long, but 1 beep followed by another instantly.

    Now I tried to reinstall Windows 7 and did, but she continued with the same problem. So I did a format on my drive, and did install a clean windows 7, it completed the installation currently and reset to move to the next step (now it does not start back to the desktop to completely finish doesn't stop beeping and freezing)

    I did a hard reboot and that did not work and I cleaned my air, nothing has worked to resolve this issue, and I did nothing in 2 or 3 days, he was off (before that day, I played last, it was working fine, and the day I turned it off everything I've done has been playing World of Warcraft don't not download/install something again)

    I opened the back and checked my memory was sitting on the right, and my HARD drive was inplace correctly (at the beginning when it was happening, it would not be in the office without the Windows 7 CD inside, now after I did a clean install, he's not going to the office without worrying)

    I read another post with similar problems and plan to go out 1 of my RAM sticks and just try to run with 1 in, and switching them and try to see if that helps, but I'll do that tomorrow as I worked on this thing for hours tonight, I've been on the Windows 7 forum get advice from someone here, but he gave a link to read and agreed I should post here also.

    My suspisions that if none of this works, it's my Proccessor, my Ram or my entire CPU, which in this case, I know not what to do to do or if it is worth fixing (Ram is easy, but the other two seems difficult and costly) for any help or advice as I can get from you guys would be greatly appreciated it's a HP Pavilion dv6 notebook.

    Edit: I managed to enter the office and my clean install of windows 7 in full, and I made a default reset in the BIOS, will return tomorrow with updates I have.

    Yes mate, I waiting since I posted a reply with HP staff.

    They are * beep * ing pathetic and I would never buy a HP anything ever, I will also say to all my friends and tell all my friends to tell their friends and so on and so forth, do not to do. I will also let any forum I post on the same and any game online that I play on the same thing.

    I gave up and will just buy a new DESKTOP PC, they work better and you can actually solve the material problems if it's graphics/CPU things, unlike a laptop.

    If I were to ever get a laptop once again, it will not be a HP, I'd rather have nothing then use a pathetic HP product ever, I would rather die then have to use it. Their technical support is pathetic, and I had nothing else problems with the HP laptop I've had since the beginning.

    Because of their pathetic excuse for a computer/laptop, I am behind in my studies and have perhaps missed a few projects that I'm not able to repeat. Thank you HP, you are now under the dirt for me.

  • Problems with sound on the computer of Windows 8.

    my sound completely drops whenever I use my Dell inspiron 15R. IM tired of having to restart my pc every 20 minutes for the sound. IV tried all the stuff I can to fix the problem, but I get the same messages driver works properly and is up to date. the camera is used by another application but I haven't opened that it would use. Just WordPad which doesent use any sound I get no sound at all no sound sound of windows net or my hard drive. need this problem as soon as POSSIBLE

    The tab of the Windows driver will often say that the driver is updated, when in fact, the manufacturer has a newer version that Windows can detect.

    Instead of using the driver tab, I go to the website of Dell directly and manually download the new driver for Dell.

  • Problem of access of the bios under windows 8

    Hello

    Since the update my pc windows 7 to 8, I have had problems with the BIOS I can access is no longer the bios by pressing f2 on my keyboard, I've been on people to sort for weeks to try to get this problem but I have anywhere below are a list of things I've tried
    1. communicate with my Packard bell manufacturing gave no progress if the question has been reassigned to tell me it was a software problem with windows
    2. I contacted a local technician who did not know what the problem was
    3. I contacted Microsoft answering service who told me that I should try to access BIOS through advanced, startup was missing why it worked several important things like
    The UEFI firmware settings and use a device (firmware settings is very important because it allows the pc to boot directly from the bios)
    4. I contacted Proton an independent company with experienced technicians, who suggested the same thing as Microsoft
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    James
     

    As you do not access the BIOS from Windows at all, not sure how this is a Microsoft issue.  The BIOS is what starts after the POST or Power On Self Test.  Then the BIOS takes over and from there it resets the Windows MBR to start.

    Therefore, hit F2 before you see anything to do with Windows, while F2 is the key used to access the BIOS Setup.  As soon as you see something to do with Windows, it is far along the boot process and you must try again.
  • Problem opening URLS in the click box

    Hello

    I cannot start a file from a click box. I enter the url and deselect contine, running project. I have test the link in the preview and it works fine. However when I publish the file of the click box does not work. I click it several times and finally all that happens is the next slide appears. Something that should not happen at all.

    I tried using the buttons instead, again it works in preview, but not when I publish the course. I also tried selecting and deselecting her continue running Project box.

    Someone at - it had a similar problem? Know of a solution?

    Hi ntompkins

    Often we see problems when you try to run the project to your local computer. Could be Flash security settings. If this is the case, see if the tutorial below the help link.

    Click here to see the tutorial

    Note that this affects only playback on the local PC. If you have decided to copy the files on a web server and your users will run from there, you have nothing to worry about. If your intention is for each user to copy the files to the C: drive and run from there, then you concerns. But there are solutions if this is the case.

  • Problem of size and form of policy on the executable in Windows 7

    Hello

    my colleague has a problem with his application on a Windows 7 computer. It's an executable built with LabVIEW 2011 on a XP machine.

    Please see the attached screenshots for the appearance of the same exe under Windows XP and Windows 7 (where the fonts are more grand/resized).

    Do you have ideas about how to avoid this? One solution could be the use of screenshots of screen/bitmaps instead of text, but it is very uneasy about future changes.

    Best regards

    Manu

    Hi, manual,.

    This has been asked several times before:

    You must include some keys over in the INI of the executable file. I usually use those:

    FPFont = "Tahoma" 13
    BDFont = "Tahoma" 13
    appFont = "Tahoma" 13
    dialogFont = "Tahoma" 13
    systemFont = "Tahoma" 13
