Re: [PEDA] Mouse Driver
Mouse . . . Mouse . . . Did someone say Mouse . . . Steve, I've always had good luck with Logitech drivers (and eliminated almost all (99.999%) of my unexplained crashes), and personally like the feel of their Mice. Many of their newer Mice have many additional buttons, and the nice thing here, even though it doesn't say so on the outside of the package that they come in, all of the buttons are programmable. This means that you can take some of these additional buttons such as the ones mounted on the sides that are stated to be for things like Back and Forward on your internet browser, and reprogram them as PgUp and PgDn, which give you your zoom in and zoom out in Protel 99 SE (yeah, it is not quite like the AutoCad scroll in and scroll out, but it does work quite well none the less). Don't forget that most scroll wheel Mice also have a button built into the scroll wheel which you can also press as well as scroll, and sometimes you can re-define this middle button (scroll button) as either PgUp or PgDn all by itself (I know you can in Logitech Mouseware). Unfortunately, zooming in and out the way that you describe is usually a function of the application software itself, and unfortunately that specific function simply does not exist in Protel 99 SE , and since we never got enough support for SP7 . . . Although . . . Someone mentioned a utility that does something along those lines here in this forum not to long ago, so you might just check the archives . . . While a longshot, you might be able to find that some video card actually incorporates and supports such a function all on it's own simply as a part of the hardware . . . As a final note, such a capability would probably make for an interesting server for someone who likes to diddle around with the SDK and would appreciate the accolades of his (or her) fellow Protel 99 SE users (however it should zoom in or out in very fine steps, and not just emulate pressing PgUp or PgDn 57 times, and of course use my preferred method of centering with each zoom (don't anyone get too upset - that last part really was a joke (see :-) ) ) . . . Take it easy on all that Mousing around . . . Happy 99ing (still seems the best way to go . . . ) . . . JaMi - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 11:41 AM Subject: [PEDA] Mouse Driver At risk of reopening the mouse wars of yesteryear, I need to ask what's the best driver to install to use a Microsoft Intellipoint (Dell branded) mouse with Protel 99SE. I had a pretty decent setup and should have left well enough alone, but I tried to install a newer mouse with dual scroll wheels etc, and that didn't work out. I can't seem to get back to the configuration I had before using either the v4.1 driver I thought I was using nor the freshly downloaded (from microsoft.com) v5.0 drivers. What I'd really like, and what I thought I was getting when I bought the mouse, was the ability to use the scroll whele for zoom. With the way Protel zooms, that's all I need, and I'd never scroll at all. Just roll the wheel one way to zoom out till the area of interest is in view, move the mouse pointer over there, and roll the wheel the other way to zoom back in. Who needs scroll bars?

Re: [PEDA] Mouse driver complaints - there's one one every list
That's why you get another 2 or three mice when you find one that suits your needs. Just assuming a mice to be a trivial device that always works under all circumstances is a bit blue eyed.
