Install MouseWorks again and you’re got-to-go.

Kensington trackballworks not working windows 7 update#

SOLUTION: Go into the Device Manager, update the Human Interface Device’s driver to kmw_usb.sys that’s included with the MouseWorks driver files. Because of this, MouseWorks won’t detect a Kensington device at all. Problem: MouseWorks installs the device driver for “Mice and other pointing devices”, but not for the “Human Interface Device”. I am using the TrackBall driver, not Mouseworks, and running on W7 64bit. Right now all seems to working well (for the last half hour). Working through my other issuesĪs many of you have shared. My 'fix' was to set the windows mouse driver as a right handed user. So in essence you are reversing the buttons twice in the Windows dialogs. I believe what is happening is that all button activity except certain windows system dialog and message boxes are being handled by the Kensignton driver, and the Windows stuff isīeing handled by the Kensignton AND the windows drivers. In regards to the left/right buttons being reversed.

I thought I'd be able to deal with it, but it quickly become very frustrating, so I've reported the problem to Kensington and removed TrackballWorks until (if) it is fixed. Then in the panel that pops up, the mouse buttons will be right-handed. For example, if you're in Firefox and select File->Print., Also, I discovered that the left-handed mouse problem occurs whenever an application pops up a secondary window. I suppose they may eventually fix these problems, but in the meantime I'm going to try some of the other suggestions posted here earlier.Įdit: I should have noted that I have an Expert Mouse (K64325)Īnother edit: It turns out that my scroll wheel is actually dead. pointer speed, precise pointer movement, etc) work perfectly well. This is very frustrating, since other functions (e.g.

The scroll wheel simply doesn't work at all.

That's fine most of the time, but, oddly, there are some (not all, and I haven't yet worked out a pattern) programs where the change is not recognised, and I have to press the other button.

I'm left-handed, and so switched the left and right mouse buttons.

Although it restores *some* of the function I used to enjoy with MouseWorks, I have noticed some, uh, quirks: I just downloaded and installed TrackballWorks on Windows 7 (64-bit). I just really hope some OTHER company comes up with a good alternative product before my two current Kensington trackballs give out. Kensington supports its most recently sold hardware (due to legal and liability requirements?), but they will gladly let old customers and one-timeĬhampions of their products twist in the wind. The workarounds suggested by Mike_Land and cornwell prove that the hardware is fully Win7 and 64-bit compatible.

Kensington's outsourced email support was insincere and completely unhelpful, providing a thinly veiled suggestion that I should trash my old, discontinued junk and pay Kensington a couple of hundred for new trackballs.

After downloading and installing it on my Win7 64-bit, TrackballWorks refused to recognize the Expert Mouse Pro as compatible Kensington took the time to produce their newest 'TrackballWorks' software to make their trackballs compatible with Windows 7. Thanks to Mike_Land and cornwell for the links to the workaround that solves my particular problem (no chords, but really nice to have something that works!). HOW TO: Install a Software Application using Compatibility Mode Hope this helps.

This gives me full functionality for the software. Anyway, I just installed the Mouseworks 6.2.2 in the Windows 7 RTM using the compatibility mode for Windows XP. I was really down when I found out that Kensington would no longer support it in Windows 7. Does anyone know if there are any hacks, workarounds, etc to get these working properly? Or if there are any plans to provide support natively in Win7 itself? It's not a deal-breaker for me, but would just be nice :-) Thanks, LINC Hi Linc Did you ever get this fixed? I have used the Expert Mouse TB since it was first put on the market and think it's probably the best pointing device ever produced.

Kensington trackballworks not working windows 7 drivers#

I tried to be clever and use the Vista drivers for a more recent version, but no dice. Unfortunately Kensington isn't much help with drivers, with support for nothing more recent than XP. The scroll-wheel only works intermittantly and I have no options for customising the buttons (or using the extra buttons at all). Kensington Expert-Mouse trackball (gotta love their naming convention) - Win7 recognises it as a mouse and it does work, but I'd really like to get proper functionality if I can. got a recently built new machine and only one relatively minor issue.
