Vista upgrade disables scrolling? I just installed a Vista update (2/16/08) and the scoll functions no longer work. The scroll icon will show, but I cannot scroll. Anyone else have this problem?EDIT: Okay, I just received this response from tech support: "Thank you for your e-mail and your support for Logitech products.

According to the Logitech website it is now compatible with Vista. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/trackballs/devices/156&cl;=us,en

Hi, Roger,I don't know of any list of which mice have detent scroll wheels, but if you want to know about a specific model I can check on it for you. I've been here about two years and Arc is the only one we've released since I've been here with detent. My mom has an older Microsoft mouse that has VERY crunchy detent scrolling and it drives me nuts. I don't know which mouse it is, though. Cathy

nope.. don't buy this if you have vista. They do not have a update. I don't expect them to make a new one either as OEM's have had vista to test their products on for over a year. If you have vista and you buy this it will not work as is the case for me.

Yes. Works fine just like every other one I've ever used. In the past I've experienced intermittent scrolling function with other "mice" and I was able to take them apart and clean gunk and debris from the mouse pad or surface that it was used on. This cleaning took care of the problem and extended the life of the mouse. I haven't tried it with the newer ones.

The original didn't work under Vista 64-bit. Does anyone know if this new version works on Vista 64-bit? I know that there's a whole bunch of drivers that do no work in 64-bit, and I had a hell of a time trying to get the old G15 keyboard installed before I gave up and sent it back. Any info is appreciated. Logitech's site doesn't say 64-bit support. I've always been suspicious when there is no mention of that.

Does anyone know whether the full version purchased on Amazon is Vista compatible. The version from MS website is double the price.

Yes, you need to install the Logitech Manager. If you don't you will miss out on all swipe features, center taps and shortcuts. You will only have left, right click and scroll.

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?

Has anyone tried holding down the shift key when using scroll wheel? That works just fine scrolling left to right on my 2007 DotMouse. I would be curious to know results as I need to replace the DotMouse with something similar.

There are known issues with "Sleep," and "Hibernate," modes in Windows Vista, 7, and possibly 8. Microsoft isn't known for fixing software issues as much as adding new features to distract people from it's shortcomings. So, to answer your question, I never allow it to enter either. It's on or off and nothing in between. This is due to the fact that my first laptop came with Vista when it launched. After waking from sleep mode a few times, functions would randomly stop working. When I found out it was directly linked to these modes, I stopped using them. A few years later, it did not appear that this issue was resolved yet. In the end, I simply gave up on those features.

No, using the scrolling aspect does not impart any feedback beyond seeing the result onscreen. And it only scrolls, no other Windows 8 touch function, such as edge functions.

Hi, Sam,Both the Explorer and the Explorer mini have a smooth scroll wheel. Technically that's called "detent" or "non-detent", though I also think of them as "crunchy" and "smooth." :-) The new Arc mouse has a detent wheel. Cathy, Microsoft Hardware Documentation team

yup, scrolling is pretty choppy.. no fixes that i have found yet - i now am used to not scrolling with the scroll wheel - great for ergonomics - have had no pain in the arm / wrist since i have it ..

No, up and down like most Windows mouses. If you want L/R scrolling, a trackball type is usually the way to go. There are some good wireless units that use a thumb ball. I have had the older big ball type and they were all too big to work well except for some graphics applications.

Im a Vista user....bottomline...the lifecam does not work with Vista. You can go through a series of configuration of your computer, but for something that suppose to be simple to install....it isnt. If you had a prior logitech device installed in your computer...this cam is a nightmare to install!! Save your money, and dont buy a microsoft lifecam...they are cheap for a reason!!!

YES, you can scroll. I am NOT a techie, and I figured it out. It's just like Feejo said. Go to your mouse settings, then click on "set-point"--you'll see the configurations there. I love this trackball and the price is right!

I don't have it in front of me now, but have you tried pushing that oval button on the end of the mouse and then flip the TOP cover off. The oval button at the end, not the push buttons where your finger tips press. After pressing the oval button I believe you flip the mouse by using your finger nail and lifting at the crevice where it says "Microsoft". And/or the cover slides. That is assuming there is no lift tab underneath the mouse. Hope this helps you get to the battery. Godspeed.
