Mouse not working properly in Live

Post by broken_specs » Tue Sep 21, 2010 8:00 pm

Hello Everyone,

A strange one this..

I've just bought a Microsoft wireless mouse and the up/down roller button/dial doesn't work in Live 8.1.5..!

Weird! I'm running a Vaio with Windows 7 and the mouse works fine outside of Live (MS Apps, Browsers, etc)

Anyone experienced this before? Any ideas what to do?

Cheers :-)

I had the same issue on my Mac.

I just downloaded the software from the site and installed it rather than the standard drivers.

All fixed!

hmmm, that's interesting - when I tried to install the drivers that arrived in the cd, it told me not to bother as I had more up to date drivers already installed.

When you were experiencing the problem, was it just in Live or in all applications?

Just in live, thats why it kept me guessing and really started to piss me off.

I think I may have gotten the same message.

Worst case scenerio, you cam roll back the driver but I highly doubt it would mess things up.
