Vista - Logitech MX 310 Mouse

Logitech MX 310 Mouse

After upgrading to x64 my mouse no longer functions as anything but a 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel. Logitech says that the Vista Native Drivers are sufficient to use but they are not. I have always used Mouseware which allows me to select the wheel as double click and the other buttons to be set for what I wanted.

In one of the threads in the Developer newsgroup I saw that someone named
Choli had found a solution but she was a guest and never replied when someone asked her for the solution.

Does anyone know the solution to getting Mouseware like driver(s) to give this mouse the same functions?

Re: Logitech MX 310 Mouse

I am answering my own post but still welcome any other possible solutions since I am not at home so I have to wait until I get there to try this. If anyone has tried this please let me know if it worked.

Logitech states that Mouseware for the 300-series isn't
Vista-compatible and that native Vista drivers are all that is needed
for "basic functionality". Sounds like the fancy stuff is gone.

Solution: buy an MX400 or better.

Thanks John, appreciate the answer. Read my follow-up post and, if that solution doesn't solve my problems, I will indeed invest in a new mouse.

WHAT follow-up post? If you started a different thread to deal with
this same situation, then you fooked up.

Re: Logitech MX 310 Mouse

I didn't "fook up", after I posted I googled and sammed around to find some solution as I feel, like many others, that many manufacturers are abandoning updating their legacy equipment drivers.

I was referring to the post immediately after my initial post, which strangely enough, I found on the Logitech site. I would think that they would refer people to this link.

You thunk wrong. Logitech's site is a dedicated support forum, not a
Usenet gateway.

Re: Logitech MX 310 Mouse

For many different reasons you should never assume that everybody reading a
post has any previous posts on their system so you should always include
them in your post.

OK, you're probably right. I belong to several Photoshop forums and almost all want to eliminate all but the last few posts in the thread.

My assumption that since this is a forum anyone interested enough or responsive will have read all of the posts, as I do, when I want to see why the post was initiated in the first place.

You actually EXPECT us to go to the Logitech site to see if you posted
anything there????

Sorry... this is an all-volunteer group. You are expected to do some
of the work.
