Vista upgrade disables scrolling? Anyone else have this problem?

This sucks so big time. What on earth is Logitech thinking? I just spent hours scouring user reviews and finally settled on the Logitech Optical Marble Mouse as ultimate mousing heaven. I have two XP Pro machines, sure, but I wanted it for my new Vista w PVR. How hard can it be for them to update it? Or is this another one of those plots by Microsoft to try to kill the competition? Ugh, if so. Or, more hopefully but ugh as well, do they simply want to issue a new version for Vista to create obsolescence and thereby increase sales ? Anybody know?

There's an option in the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center program that you install for the product (the software can be grabbed from the Microsoft web site as well). Go to multi touch trackpad settings and scroll to "Flip scrolling direction" which you can toggle to change the scrolling direction.

Thanks, but I suspect that is not the problem here. The mouse is always more in less in the same place, and sometimes it will be fine for a number of days, then everything locks. And with Vista I can't even turn off the computer if there is a program running without using the mouse or keyboard, so I have to shut off power at the surge supressor in order to get control back.

I am using Windows 7, Vista has a terrible reputation and would suspect that that is the problem. My advice is to dump Vista.

I just got mine, it appears it is only the slider toggle in the upper right that does that. Shame, that is a real annoyance to have to choose between windows 8 function keys or ones you use while programming, like f5 to refresh your browser or launch you app in debug mode. seems like alt or ctrl should be able to do that.

You can't scroll. You can't right click either. But this limited functionality makes it great for young kids.

Honestly, neither unit that I had worked long enough to try out all the options. I know that it did have a skip function, but don't know if the interval was set or adjustable. It did have a standard video scroll bar that you can bring up via the remote and move the cursor to where you want in the playback, which was very useful. I wish my old Argosy unit had it, but at least it's still working [they no longer make them though, which is why I was checking out the Micca unit].

No. The functions of the left and right clicks can be customized but scrolling cannot. It's a serious limitation.

Yes I do remember being able to scroll. Has to do with the rocker button near the tip. Didn't use for long due to arthritis.

No. When not in an application like PowerPoint it only seems to be able to scroll (e.g. in Firefox the left and right buttons scroll up and down the page).

Try going into your control panel, than to Ease of access, than Ease of access center. Usually you can change settings for the mouse, keyboard and different types of visual display there. If that doesn't work, try messing around with it. Hope it helps

I have had trouble with it with Windows 10. It causes frustrating unresponsive web pages after a recent update (roughly two weeks ago). When I don't use the mouse, the problem is resolved (apparently)

There are two buttons right under the scroll wheel that were made with that in mind. They have '+' and '-' on them respectively, and are set to adjust DPI to whatever you like in the default setup. You can, however, change the function of the two to whatever else you can think of, so there is a lot of versatility.

I have the same issue with random disconnects with Windows 8 and 8.1 - both with a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and an HP Bluetooth mouse. It clearly is a problem with Windows 8. I even unchecked the option to allow the computer to turn the mouse off and it still happens. Both mice allow scrolling, but only in a limited way. If you scroll too fast it foes into a funky state where you have to move the mouse to move the screen. I've not fount a fix for that except to scroll slowly with the scroll wheel.

Yes and no. To scroll, you have to click one of the inner small buttons first, and then the roller becomes the scrollwheel. So, unfortunately it's not a quick access item, nor can you reverse the direction of scrolling on Windows. It's too bad they didn't include a scrollwheel between the two main buttons.

Yes... the scrolling is done the same way. It seems that it scrolls on its own, but it's just how your holding it. You can stop the scrolling by left clicking. Hopefully I have answered your question.

The only suggestion I have is for you to turn off the 'Tapping' function on your mouse pad as you might be accidentally tapping on it as you use your space bar. I haven't had any problems with the two laptops we purchased from Asus, but I did turn off that function on both of them. Hope this helps.
