Make your Kensington Expert Mouse Trackball fully programable in Vista - Page 3

I think the white one is an older version. I haven't got a Mac but there does seem to be drivers for them on the Kensington website

This also works in Windows 7 64-bit, for those interested. Follow JayColorado's original instructions (in the first post), but in the first step download the W7 version of Intellipoint here:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...7.10.344.0.exe

Otherwise, follow the other instructions as-is. It's no Mouseworks, but it gets the job done.

This is a step-by-step process to fix MouseWorks in 32-bit Vista using WADDIE's instructions. I came here from Google while trying to find a solution to my problems with MouseWorks. Some of the instructions were unclear to me, and after a bit of nosing around I figured it out. This is for other people who are confused about how to fix this problem.

1) Download Kensington Mouseworks 6.22 from Kensington's website. (Even if you have a CD for it!)

2) Right click and choose "Extract Here." (Or, alternatively, wherever you want to extract the folder to. It doesn't really matter where it goes as long as you remember where it is for later.)

3) Go to the search bar in the start menu and type in "Device Manager."

4) Click on "Device Manager."

5) Find the correct device under "Human Interface Devices."
- It is probably named "USB Human Interface Device," so it would be wise to start there.
- You can do this by disabling the selected driver under the Driver tab in Properties until the mouse ceases to respond. Once it stops responding, hit "Enter" on your keyboard and it will be re-enabled. Obviously, since the mouse stopped working when you disabled the driver, this is the driver you want.

6) Under the Driver tab in Properties, choose "Update Driver..."

7) Choose "Browse my computer for driver software."

8) Browse the computer and find the Mouseworks folder you extracted earlier.

9) Click "Next."

10) Windows will install the driver software. Once it does, you can go into MouseWorks and map all of your buttons.

Kensington's trackball Expert Mouse now works with 32- and 64-bit versions of vista and windows 7. Download the TrackballWorks driver here.

TrackballWorks offers substantially reduced button programmability compared to Mouseworks.

It is seriously lame.

Will this work around work for expert mouse using vista and using PS2 connector?

I have the expert trackball and it will not work on Windows 7 64bit. When you plug it into the usb port, the light goes on, but it is not recognized. If you go into device manager and try to find the human interface device, it isn't there unless you plug in something else.

I have downloaded the mouseworksPC 622.exe, the trackball works V1_0_4.exe and the tBW_11beta win.exe, and none of them work.

I am ready to throw it against the wall and let the dogs play with the ball. I will NEVER BUY KENSINGTON AGAIN. Logitech is much better.

follow these directions, http://www.techenclave.com/operating...it-145539.html , but use the newest trackball tools from kensington, dseo13b.exe will allow you to disable driver signing in vista 64bit and win7 64bit.

Did you try it in another computer? Maybe the trackball itself has a problem. I have one and it works fine in Windows 7 64-bit.
