Please, I need a clicklock that I can program into mouse button. It is not helpful to my repetitive stress injury to attempt to "hold" a mouse button for some "seconds". This often results in making several attempts to get it to work--especially if one's fine motor skills have been damaged just a bit.

My old Intellipoint software allowed me to program a single-click lock that works the first time and every time. Newer versions do not support this.

If I want to buy a new computer with Vista, I will not be able to use this version of the software.

Hi Jprestebak, and welcome to Vista Forums.

In screens 3 & 4 of the video, you can adjust the settings to use a shorter hold down time of the left mouse button to ClickLock the window. You should be able to adjust to almost a single quick click. It is the same with using MS Intellipoint. It's what I'm using to.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
