-i got a combination keyboard and mouse...but when i bring it to the computer with windows 7 which has a right-handed mouse to hook it up...i can't set the buttons differently for the combination keyboard and mouse. is this a mistake on the part of windows 7 or a limitation with the combination keyboard and mouse?

well, not satisfied with the failure, i decided to try out the option, enable program specific settings. it's not working. not one bit. it's not working for the mouse i can change the buttons for, nor the keyboard and mouse combination.

what is going on here? does windows 7 need some sort of update? on my netbook(windows xp) i can make the mouse attached to keyboard be right handed and the mouse connected to usb be left handed and vice versa or whatever. but on this windows 7 computer although it can find a mouse that isn't the one already hooked up, it won't change the buttons settings. isn't that strange?

I really don't understand what your problem is at all - can you give us the exact model/version of the mouse/keyboard, and what it currently does and what you want it to do?

Are you just trying to change what the keys do on the keyboard? As Slapshot said, letting us know the models would be good.

I think he is trying to have two mice plugged in at once, and have one "left-handed" and one "right-handed" with their buttons.
If you are using a Logitech mouse I believe their SetPoint software can be used to reverse the settings for one mouse.

Click to expand...

it is a mk320 logitech keyboard and mouse combination. on my one computer it is left-handed, and on my roommate's computer, it is right-handed. i can't figure out how to change this. i've tried and tried, but i can't seem to select the keyboard and mouse combination in the mouse settings.

so anyway, contrary to my other post, i can't make the mouse and keyboard not be left-handed on my computer(the windows xp computer), as i assumed i would be able to.

but more importantly, i can't make it left-handed on my roommate's computer(the windows 7 computer).

even making the mouse for his computer be left-handed, restarting the computer and everything the mouse is still stuck on right-handed for his computer.

the mouse buttons just freaked out on me for the mouse that's in the computer! i was playing a warcraft 3 dota game and all of a sudden the left handed mouse settings stopped working! the mouse was all of a sudden right handed in the game! and it made me my hero die. i didn't know what was going on. but my hero wasn't doing anything i told him to. now i can't get the mouse settings to work for left handed for either one of the mouses, the wired, and the wireless! think it's a problem with windows, and not the hardware.

Did you recently make any other changes to your mouse settings before this new problem?

    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
