Rodger, In addition to Simon's suggestion (which I have seen work), I have also found that every pointing device I've used and with a USB connection, produced very unsatisfactory results when working in Mapinfo (not to mention many other apps).
I use the PS/2 adapter to plug the USB pointing device into a PS/2 port and for what ever reason, there is a big difference. Using USB, the scroll wheel as well as simple mouse movements are... "over emphasized" for lack of a better analogy. So, if the motherboard of your PC or notebook, or docking station has a PS/2 port but you're using USB, you might giving the adapter a try. HTH Dave Hi All, I have just bought a flash new Logitech Trackball mouse, which works wonders in all applications except MapInfo. As suggested by most trackball users, I have set the mouse speed to slow, and then set the acceleration to med or high which allows greater control at slow speed, but also able to shoot across the page where necessary. For some reason when MapInfo is the active window, the acceleration doesn't work, which means I end up with a very slow mouse cursor all the time.... Has anyone had a similar problem and managed to solve it? Thanks in advance! Thomas -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free Checked by AVG Free Edition.
