I agree. Of course in this instance MS is the software AND hardware vendor. Live and learn...

Get those from the hardware vendor. This is a rule of thumb everyone should follow. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Bill Jourdain Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 7:34 PM To: 'FireBrick' Cc: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Mouse Scroll Wheel Issues It was a problem with mouse control of VFOA. The mouse wheel would scroll any other running windows program, but became very intermittent when I was trying to tune/scroll through VFOA. It worked perfectly until today. Doing a little more investigation, I found that Windows had indeed installed a new version of Intellipoint on my computer for this mouse (Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0). Uninstalling the new software did not fix the problem, nor did rebooting the computer. I then pulled the batteries out of the Intellimouse and plugged in an extra USB mouse that was lying around and that fixed the problem. I'm not sure why the new MS software "broke" the functionality of the wheel on the wireless mouse with PowerSDR as it continued to work perfectly with all other programs. It's also a shame as I really like the feel of the wireless mouse in my hand. For now, I'll use this old USB mouse until I can figure out the problem. Any other thoughts? By the way, I'm fairly new to the Flex and PowerSDr and am not familiar with "HotWheels" aside from the toy cars. 73, Bill AB4BJ http://www.ab4bj.com -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of FireBrick Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 7:14 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Mouse Scroll Wheel Issues Bill Just so I understand, your mouse wheel will no longer adjust vfoa? Even if you click on vfoa so that the underline is under one of the digits? Or Are where you using HotWheels mouse control? Which requires that the program be started and the scroll lock button be enabled.
