The TAB key is your friend.

No, seriously..... Have you diasbled it in control panel or device manager or BIOS or what?

Help me out here.
I assume you are using Windows

Edit2: Oh yes, you said windows didn't you. DOH!

seriously though..

can you help me at all?

(alexnessie \o/., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:55, archived)

it's probably in the control panel though

which if you can manage to get to here, you can probably figure out

(

kitty meow meow, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:56, archived)

Control panel

CTRL-Esc (Bring up start menu)
cursor up, up, up etc.. to settings
cursor right "Control panel" - press enter

Type "MOU" - enter

Mouse settings.

if you don't have a windows key

that'll work too

(

kitty meow meow, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:58, archived)

Yeah,

If you have a windows key, use that instead of CTRL-Esc. I just said it like that because 99.864% of keyboards DO have CTRL & Esc keys.

not true, but I'll let you off :)

(

kitty meow meow, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:02, archived)

yeah

but most keyboards have had windows keys for the last what? 7-8 years?

Windows keys

are one of the most fucking anoying things ever

(The Scone from U.N.C.L.E., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:05, archived)

i agree

Awful when

you are playing Doom and you just get to the cyber boss, you are fully loaded with rockets, you get in position.... choose your moment.... STRAFE!! and hit the windows key by mistake.

Up pops your desktop and you know that you are dead when you get back in.

Bah!

(

Black Moon Not cracked, I'm all up to be., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:08, archived)

exactly

and you can always press ctrl and esc - why do you need a new fucking button

window's button - arse faced git's button I call it

of course no one understands what I mean when I do

(The Scone from U.N.C.L.E., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:11, archived)

I think I know what you mean

Hey, your post was almost a "/rant"

(

Black Moon Not cracked, I'm all up to be., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:14, archived)

I never / my rants

because then I'd have to stop or reopen the tags

Some peeps like

old hardware. My last keyboard (1 year ago) didn't have one, but the keys made wonderfully low clicking sounds when you pressed them and I nearly creamed every time I typed.

(

Black Moon Not cracked, I'm all up to be., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:06, archived)

you need

your keyboard, the windows key, tab, arrow buttons and space. then do what you did to break it.

either that, or shut down, unplug the mouse, reboot, shut down, plug the mouse back in and start up again, if you're lucky, it'll reinstall the drivers

(

Dr. Kitteny Berk almost certainly drunk, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:55, archived)

and if any explosions occur..

i can blame you...?

(alexnessie \o/., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:56, archived)

not really

you use my advice at your own risk, and think yourself lucky i'm kind enough to help after you fucked up.

(

Dr. Kitteny Berk almost certainly drunk, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:57, archived)

nothing will explode

I don't remember if 98 was dumbed down enough to install things like that automatically though

(

kitty meow meow, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:57, archived)

USB nearly worked in

98se

(The Scone from U.N.C.L.E., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:58, archived)

hehehe

a lot of things nearly worked in 98se. unfortunatly, not much actually did ;-)

(

Dr. Kitteny Berk almost certainly drunk, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:59, archived)

all I remember is that usb didn't work at all in NT

I knew people who had to program an entire driver for it for their senior design project, poor guys

(

kitty meow meow, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:00, archived)

ouch

and yep, sounds right

(

Dr. Kitteny Berk almost certainly drunk, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:01, archived)

I use 98SE

and it's lovely. Have a USB hub with scanner, digicam, Printer and webcam in it. 100% working.

I love 98SE.

(

Black Moon Not cracked, I'm all up to be., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:03, archived)

I've thought about going back

because I have programs i want to run that don't work with xp. It would also run a lot faster without xps footprint. I just can't be bothered and I'm afraid other stuff would stop working.

(

kitty meow meow, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:05, archived)

I went back

it was horrible

(The Scone from U.N.C.L.E., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:06, archived)

yeah

if anything, it might be better to go to win2k, or *nix

(

Dr. Kitteny Berk almost certainly drunk, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:09, archived)

2k is nice

but patching it is an arse and it boots slowely

(The Scone from U.N.C.L.E., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:10, archived)

yeah

i reboot about once every 3 months anyway.

(

Dr. Kitteny Berk almost certainly drunk, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:11, archived)

God I hated 2000

and xp for that matter.

I'll stick with this
It's all personal preference you know. There's no "right and wrong" oppo system.

(

Black Moon Not cracked, I'm all up to be., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:10, archived)

yeah

indeed, but security wise i'd stay 2k and fresher.

(

Dr. Kitteny Berk almost certainly drunk, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:12, archived)

Security? SECURITY?

I had 2000 installed for a very short time, and I got those damn messenger service boxes (Turned them off of course) and Trojans galore in through the back door.

what's more, Win98 is not effected by MsBlast. Heh!

(

Black Moon Not cracked, I'm all up to be., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 4:17, archived)

messenger things are a stupid service left on my m$ but a piece of piss to turn off really.

for security I'd go for 2k or XP (me at a stretch) as they are still being maintained by M$

maybe you should've been running a firewall?

hmmmmm

that is silly

edit:
that's not much help - sorry I don't remember 98 well enough

if it is usb try swapping it into another usb port

(The Scone from U.N.C.L.E., Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:55, archived)

I think you can do it like this....


CTRL+ESC (for Start-menu)
Settings - Control Pannel - Mouse

(

G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 9 Nov 2003, 3:56, archived)

I suggest.....

.. basting your mouse in......
1/2 cup apricot jam
1/4 cup dried apricot, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

... Let me know if this works.....
