Hello j_waver0000,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

I would like more information on what brand and model of mouse you are using?  I know that you listed Trackball, but I show several manufacturers using the name of trackball, including Microsoft.

Have you informed you have uninstalled the mouse drivers, have you done this in Device Manager?   "Click Start-> type Device Manager" in the search field-> select Device Manager-> select mice and other pointing devices-> with the right button of your device, and then select update.

If the device is already updated and then right-click and select "Uninstall".  You may be prompted to restart, otherwise right click again on your device and select "install".

If you have a Microsoft Mouse, please visit this link for additional information.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

  • My stand-alone version of Lightroom (6.3 v) has suddenly stopped working, and it will not yet launch!

    Its been working perfectly reliable on a 10 Windows PC until yesterday and now... nothing!  If I click on the shortcut on the desktop, or try to run the application, it is even not a splash screen is displayed.  But when I look in the Manager of tasks, looks like Lightroom trying to start a background process, but after a few seconds that he faints - there is no sign of work even in the background.  But I see that there is another application from Adobe that runs and faints at the same time - called Adobe 32-bit utility License (even if I'm under 10 64-bit Windows)

    My PC seems to work very well, outside of Lightroom.

    I'm stumped, but before I try going through the whole palaver of an uninstall complete and reinstall, I thought I should ask for help!

  • My computer keeps showing random parts "suddenly stop working" and the computer needs to reboot - I think it's a virus.

    I have a problem when occasionally and randomly my computer components apparently all of a sudden "stop working and must close ' which translates into my computer restart itself. This happens a lot, but I can not associate with any particular issue, as it changes each time. I think it's a virus, but nothing seems to be wrong, it's just the inconvenience. I had the computer more than a year and nothing wrong with it. The only other common thing is a program called "twonkymedia" seems to be on my pc and "must be closed", but I can't find anywhere to remove it.

    It's driving me crazy now, as can happen at any time during the game, work or other passtimes of the computer.

  • Hotmail has suddenly changed appearance and now present on the top of the page blue with lines. I have a screenshot...

    Run Firefox 15.0. Hotmail has suddenly changed appearance and my page is not at the bottom of the screen. The top 5/6 of the page is a series of horizontal blue stripes. Text in the blue section is the Windows Live titles such as ' home, Mobile devices, etc. When I try to compose a new message, text in the blue box partially covers the 'To' button, so I need to position the slider at the bottom of the button to enter an address. I have tried Hotmail in IE and it seems fine, so it must be a problem of compatibility between Hotmail & Firefox. Hotmail has not responded to my questions by e-mail. I could understand that if this happened at the beginning of a session, just after I have lights, but this happened after, I had been active in Hotmail and other sites. Other sites are not affected, just Hotmail and only in Firefox.
