Hi, i just got a new computer with windows vista and it seems like theres a problem with the mouse.
When i enter my computer and double click on /c disk nothing happens. I need to right-click and select open.
Also in browsers at places where i can select an option from a tab when i press it nothing happens resulting in me having to use the up and down arrows, or type "norway" to get it selected in the "country" option.

Thank you for your help.

The good news is there's nothing wrong with your mouse.

The bad news is you're using Vista!

In the Vista operating system, double-clicking the left mouse button on C:\ doesn't work the same way that it would under XP, you HAVE TO right-click and select 'Open'.

That's been my experience with any of the Vista machines I've been exposed to.

When I click Start, Computer and double click on Local Disk C: it expands it in the left pane and displays the contents in the right pane.

What type of Mouse is it Logitech, if it is try uninstalling Logitech Setpoint.
Go to your device manager find the Mouse and uninstall the driver. Then reinstall with the correct one (or let windows use the generic (default) driver. Restart the PC when you have made these changes.
Try another mouse.

Frist i installed the SetPoint thing or w/e it was. Didnt help much. So i switched mouse and with the other mouse everything works just like in XP. But I prefer the other mouse over this one.

Just thinking it must be some way of solving the problem with the first mouse since the sacond mouse works perfectly.

This one works:

the mouse on another computer? there might be something wrong with the mouse. (I like Vista and find it more stable than XP, so much so that I now have a lot of student computers running Vista and we have less problems then we did when running XP. So if someone is saying it is because of Vista I say double check that before taking that as the answer).

These mice are advanced units, used (among other things) for serious FPS Gaming.

As such, you should have got a dedicated driver disc with each mouse, and the driver software per mouse should be installed on the relevant machine, so that the advanced settings can be configured properly.

This is the driver for the MX-400:

Unfortunately I can't find the M-RAG97 on the Logitech site. ;)

I dont think i have installed the driver suite. Its the M-RAG that isnt working. It works on my other computer with XP it just doesnt like vista apparently. Going to look for the Driver suite for the M-RAG now.

by blundh88

Logitech.com doesnt list it in products.

Any clues as to what i should do?

*EDIT* cant find the Driver that is.
