Vegas 4 (not the beta) and Logitech MouseWare trouble

Sadly, the latest Vegas and the latest driver for Logitech mice do not get along. Whenever Vegas is the active window, the extra buttons that MouseWare controls does not work and mouse acceleration is disabled.

I have seen this behaviour with another new program, Connectix Virtual PC 5.1. Could it be a common functionlibrary or something that is at fault? Vegas 4 beta was fine.

The latest MouseWare is 9.75. The previous version, 9.73 seems fine.

Roger,

I had a different problem with my Logitech mouse, but in all apps, not just Vegas. I recently switched from a MS Explorer mouse to a Logitech wireless, but after installing Mouseware 9.7 I immediately noticed that the scrolling had some kind of weird delay in it (this is on WinXP). I tried setting it to scroll 3 and then 6 lines, but in all applications (I think even in Explorer windows), there was a delay. It made ordinary things in Vegas (3.0c and beta 4) nearly impossible, so I uninstalled the Logitech software and am using the default WinXP "HID compliant" mouse driver which works fine. No cool extra buttons though. (using a Geoforce MMX 2 video card, in case that matters, maybe a screen redraw problem, I don't know).

If I recall, I did not experience the problem you're having in Vegas. I think all the buttons worked, but I uninstalled the Logitech software pretty quickly so I may not have even noticed.

You mentioned "mouse acceleration" - do you mean the user setting that speeds the mouse up as you move it, or like a hardware acceleration thing? (never heard of the latter myself, just wondering given my delayed scrolling)

i installed DVDA and this problem doesn't happen. it didn't happen with the beta either. i wanted to play around with vegas 4 last night, but i got annoyed quickly with a cursor that would barely move.

will sonic respond here or should i contact them some other way that might be quicker? i want to play with my new toy!

Hello,

I use a logitec cordless optiocal mouse with web wheel and thumb botton (not sure of the model).

I had problems using this with a KVM switch - the best option was to remove the logitec mouse driver and use the default MS mouse driver. The Web Wheel works etc and no problems with VV. Didn't see that the logitec driver actually added that much.

I am using XP SP1.

Install MouseWare 9.73 if you can get it. That will fix you problem.

Sorry, I should have looked a little further on the forum and looked at the upgrade site.

Have a good day!!!
