Hi There-
On my Dell Vista 32 machine, every time I set my Logitech V220 Cordless Mouse (via wireless USB) to switch primary and secondary, the change is implemented until I re-boot, at which time the the pointers revert to the previous settings.

That means every time I re-boot I have to go into the Control Panel and reconfigure the mouse.

Any thoughts on how to make the change survive a re-boot?

Are you using logitech setpoint? http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/428/3295&cl=us,en if so make sure you are using the latest version.

Hi There-

I tried using setpoint but it caused conflict with my Dell bluetooth keyboard. I replaced my Dell bluetooth mouse with the logitech mouse because the logitech is much more responsive.

So, that means I am using the default Microsoft mouse driver.

However, when I look in the device manager, there are two "HID-compliant mouse" entires. When I delete one, it reappears when I re-boot. Does that give any insight on how to resolve this?

Thanks.
