Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>hardware_devices (more info?)

I have been using Vista Home Premium for about 3 weeks. Is clean installed on
my 2 year old P4 3.4Ghz system, with 2GB RAM and 2x 120 GB SATA HDD.
I have a Logitech MX1000 lazer cordless mouse, I had it about a year on XP
with Microsoft drivers and all worked fine.
Now I have Vista, I used it flawlessly with Vista with the Microsoft drivers
for 2 weeks, then on the weekend I went and installed the Logitech Vista
driver for the mouse (Setpoint). I did not like the way the pointer was hard
to get exactly where it was supposed to be, and did not like the speed, all
trivial stuff! I could not get it the way I was used to with the Microsoft
driver, I shouldn't have messed about with it. I even turned off Setpoint in
Logitechs control panel, letting it use the OS settings. It was not good
still. So I went and turned back the driver for the mouse to Microsofts, I
uninstalled Setpoint.

So now I am happy with the mouse movement again. Although I had to speed up
the pointer movement to my liking as I did when Vista was new. Now when I
reboot the mouse settings always reverts to the default speed, and I have to
go back in to the settings to change it. Its done this for days. And yes I do
press Apply.

How can I reload the original driver for the mouse as it would have been on
day one, it seems to be corrupted now as far as retaining the settings when
turned off?

I don't like to use Restore this week as I had installed Office and several
other things this week (after the mouse was acting up). I couldn't see any
reason that caused this mouse problem other than going back to Microsofts
driver that day, and its done it since then.

Thank you for any help,
Regards,
Neil.

I have a Microsoft Comfort Optical mouse 3000 and I have the same
problem
with my mouse settings resetting to default every time my computer
restarts.
There is no SetPoint on my computer or in my msconfig startup.
Does anyone know how to get around this if you aren't using a Logitech
mouse?
Thanks
Erie

You need to put your cursor in the cursor file. Smile

I found the answer after goggling for a week. You need to put the
cursor in your cursor file. I did it and now my cursor stays the same
after reboot.
