since there is already a thread here about the happ track ball, I've got a question... My TB isn't working... its a used unit I got off E-bay. About two weeks ago, I had it hooked up to my main PC (running an updated version of XP) using an Opti-wiz, and it worked good. Now I'm trying to hook it up to my cab (running an old version of XP... doesn't even have sp1) and it isn't working. Are there any recommended drivers for using it as a mouse? |
| BobA:
You should not need a mouse driver as it is in XP. Install sp1 and sp2 just to get up todate. If all else fails repartition the drive and install tiny xp. |

I just tried it on my main PC... its not working. can't install sp1/sp2... remember the first rule about fight club? I guess I'll have to bring my multimeter home tomorrow... any tips on what I should be looking for? and incase anybody out there knows a thing or two about the Opti-Wiz... when using the solderless connector / ribbon cable, should the cable cross back over the card or should it point away from the card? |
| BobA:
First rule is You do not talk about fight club. OK don't talk about your computer. He/She must be sensitive. First thing to check is does the fan and led come on? If not probably a PS problem. If you get no fan and no life at all you may need a new one. Cheap and easy fix. Some shops do not even plug in a tester they just replace cuz its faster. If you do get fan and led then reseat everything and try again. If not working yet it is going to get harder. |

Thanks for all the help folks! I'm up in Canada so I'll try Radio shack first. With a part number I shouldn't have any problem sourcing the connector from a supply house. Much appreciated. Breaker. |
