Mouse tutorial

When Windows came out there was a tutorial on how to use the mouse.  I was not able to find in the newer versions.

My problem: I work with adults who are basically phobic computer.  They need to learn to use a mouse, but are afraid to be wrong & break something.

A mouse tutorial still exist somewhere? I'm in a non-profit so can not afford fees.

    Disable options like Wake Up on keyboard or Wake up on LAN does not help you because these options are not related to the USB mouse.

    Hi again,

    Sorry its another novice question (and, hopefully, a really simple). I want to select an audio piece, delete it and sort the audio for the snap right position so no remains empty. For the moment, I have this by positioning the mouse to the top of the screen and selecting: Edit\Delete & Move. Is there a setting I can adjust so in the future, I can just press the delete key to get the same effect?

  • X 7500: customization of mouse HP X 7500 (mouse control center)

    Hello

    I just bought the HP X 7500 Bluetooth Mouse.

    While the search for the best shape, I stumbled on the YouTube page of the HP which had an overview of the mouse X 7500 and said at the end of the video, for the other custimization, mouse HP control center can be downloaded from the HP Web site.

    It is close as well as in the choice of this mouse, because I need to customize the buttons of my mouse.

    To my surprise, the software is not available on the Web site, and after further research, I found a tutorial page saying that it must be installed on the CD that came with the mouse. Of course, there was no CD provided with the purchase (even if there was, I have no CD-ROM drive).

    This pretty much of making the mouse useless for me, and no google search returns all results for mouse control center.

    All other mouse I had previously came with its own software (other brands, it's my first HP) allowing the user to customize his buttons and resolution/sensitivity etc.

    Anyone know where I could get the software, or maybe someone has a CD laying around? The mouse seems to fit comfortably in my hand, and it would be shame to return simply because HP is once more rather incompetent at his service.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello @Kastytis,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I stumbled upon your post on the issue of the mouse and wanted to help!

    The Control Center software is available for the mouse on the HP site, but not for Windows 10.  You can try to use the software for Windows 8.  You can find the mouse drivers here:

    Drivers - X 7500 HP Bluetooth wireless mouse

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Introduction to the tutorial of curve fitting - find a function

    I'm new to programming in Labview (and programming in general) and so I'm learning the different functions in Labview that are likely to be relevant to the work that I do.  One of the functions I'll take advantage in Labview is the curve of the functions.  To this end, I found a number of tutorials that are available in the area of the developer, and the plan is to work my way through some tutorials apply in order to understand the processes involved (and how to use features etc.).

    The tutorial that I am currently working my way through is the Introduction to the tutorial Curve Fitting, and is where I am currently blocked.  To work through the linear curve of squares vi, as shown in Figure 3 of the tutorial, I can't seem to find the function that the linear data vi and the vi curve are interconnected and which connects to the curve of the linear model.  When I say that I can't find the function I want to say that I can't find the feature with the Schwaar icon in the Labview version that I use currently (it is the Labview 8.6 development system).  Can I get help with the function I need to use?

    I note, however, that the tutorial was written in 2006.  Would be - why I'm unable to find the function indicated (that is to say, he has changed since this tutorial was written)? If this is the reason why, anyone knows what is now the correct function?

    The tutorial can be found here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7669.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hey Scottum,

    This is the function table to build in the range of table in respect of the programming.

    If you hover over it in top and bottom of the function, you should see two small squares.  Mouse over the squares and your mouse turns into a vertical head double arrow.  You can drag the mouse in the vertical direction to expand the service to include more inputs.

    Hope this helps,

  • USB mouse

    Hello!

    I really need help here! I am trying to use my mouse as a motion detector... I said it is stupid, but... I WANT TO DO! I want to take his 'motion sensor' and place it near the door and... When the door opens the sensor becomes 'active '... I guess you know what I mean!

    Now, I have a USB mouse, but it is unfortunately unknown China shape mouse or something... impossible to find info on him.

    I need the most simple example on how to connect with the USB mouse... something like '0' when the mouse is idle and '1' when there was some movement in close proximity to the 'LED '. LabView has a few examples but far to complicated for me.

    I would be gratefull if you could help me!... at least one site with a tutorial for this kind of application.

    Thank you!

    A loop is sufficient. After the tutorials, you should know what a registry change is and how to use the comparison of functions (i.e. not equal).

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    http://www.Compaq.com/country/cpq_support.html

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Windows Vista starts with a black screen with the mouse cursor

    Hello

    I bought a new Toshiba laptop with OS Windows Vista from Best Buy. At time of purchse that Best Buy does not give me the Vista OS software, they said that the operating system is already installed in the laptop.

    Now, after a year, I have problems with the laptop. The Vista starts with a black screen with a mouse cursor. Before writing this issue, I searched some tips to solve the problem as

    (1) by pressing F8 while the computer is on and select it the option "last good known Configuration (Advanced) option." but it didn't work.

    (2) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, then turn on the option 'System repair Option', it did not work.

    (3) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, and then select the option "" safe mode / Normal mode option "Unfortunately she also did not work."

    Could you get it someone please let me know how I can solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance

    If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a startup repair, etc.:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
