Hi Guys,

Not a big problem, just mildly annoying!!

Every time I log into Vista (Home Premium) I have to reconfigure my mouse speed. I use the mouse at a relatively fast speed but whenever I log out and log back in, it always resets itself to a medium speed. I also have to re-tick the Enhance Pointer Precison box.

Does anyone else have this problem, or even better has anyone had it and fixed it?

Cheers

B.T.W. system is Sony Vaio VGN-N38E standard spec (Intel Dual Core T2130 @1.86GHz, 1GB RAM, Vista Home Premium.

Is the mouse a "Touch" screen or a USB External type?

built in touchpad

I do NOT use the touch pad on my Sony's I use a USB mouse.
So I am not going to be much more help.

Does it just reset your mouse settings or have you noticed its resetting any setting your save and logout and back in?

Don't know a whole lot about vista yet but i did see something in the control panel, about local profiles.
Think its located in:

Control panel:
Admin tools
Local policy's ( something like that)
Poke around there,

you could also add a new Admin account, and try and save the settings on that 1 and see if it sticks, if it does you know its a local policy preventing you from making changes to some settings, such as your mouse one.

cheers for that Vipernet. Had a good look in admin tools, found some interesting things but not local policy. going to give the admin account a try

Hi!

I would like to know if you resolved the problem, because I have exactly the same!

hmm that used to happen with me when i contacted HP they gave me a software called Synaptics Pointing Device and um well that helped my mouse settings stay the same it allows me to do a whole lot of things with the touchpad...maybe you should give that a go?

[yvang]

Thanks but that's what I am using. In fact removed that program and it was the same, so I reinstalled it because it is interesting.

Have a good day!

[shaji007]

hmmm ah well i was adviced to install that it helped...bloody computers...give you such a headache dont they...ive been up all night tryin to research mine lol

In reply to yvang, I have kind of solved it.

I usually put the laptop into Hibernate instead of turning it off which seems to help.
Although, sometimes, if I have turned it off it works fine, sometimes I have to re-adjust it.
Also I'm using a USB mouse a lot at the minute which means I'm not really noticing it.

Shaji007 - if I uninstall the Alps Pointing Device software, which was pre-installed, and installed Synaptics software instead, would I notice any incompatibility problems?

i dunno best thing to do is try it out if anything does go wrong just restore the software
