trackball problem
<< < (6/10) > >>
boodroe:
yes, i have tried that, the mouse it at medium speed and enhanced pointer it unchecked. I have tried all the cobination settings with the mouse speeds. One thought I have though and this might be a long shot, but i never connected the green wire ground to discharge the static electricity. Do you think this might have hurt the optics. It probably didnt because both trackballs are doing the same thing, but just a thought.
markrvp:
Have you tried the new trackball with the Optipac on a different computer as well?

The thing that throws me is that we shouldn't see two separate trackballs using two different encoders both have the same defect.  It's got to be software.

I don't think not having the ground wire hooked up would have damaged the boards, but you may want to hook it up to the computer case (internal frame) just to make sure a static charge isn't affecting it.  That is something that could cause two units to show the same problem.

I did try the ps2 trackball on a different computer and it had the same results. Ill hook up the optipac trackball really quick and ill let you know what happens.
boodroe:
I hooked the optipac trackball up to my other computer and had the same results. I just noticed you are from granbury, im from college station, right down the road.
Kremmit:
Pretty much everybody ignores the green ground wires.

I'll agree with Mark, if you get the same defect with two different pieces of hardware, then the problem is software, or I suppose possibly the computer hardware.

You haven't made any changes to your system that might affect the mouse lately, have you?  New or removed mouse, mouse drivers, software, mobo, anything like that?  You don't have any mouse accelleration turned on, do you?

McCoy-  Do you actually have the red boards now, or are you sitting on the fence about ordering them?
