How-To Geek

The mouse could in fact be broken. If under warranty I would return it.

http://answers.microsoft.com/e.....edb539a9a3 Not the problem your having but, this mouse seems unreliable. If you could return it it I think you should. At the very least contact Microsoft with your problem.

Keep it for now and contact MS. never know they might just give you another one.

My Toshiba mouse seems to b working okay now, however, I still cannot get into the settings

I thought you said it was a Microsoft mouse.

Do you mean scroll on the mouse wheel ?

Ensure the HID Service is running.

To start the Human Interface Device (HID) service, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Services.

Click Start Button.

Type services.msc in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.

2. Open the HID service.

In the list of services in the details pane, double-click HID Input Service or Human Interface Device Access Service.

3. Make sure that the Startup Type value is set to Automatic.

4. Reboot the machine.

OK, this what others have done to fix the Fast Scrolling. Remember what I just taught you above also. :)

Lighthouse, Under the wheel tab it says , vertical scrolling roll the wheel one notch to scroll, the following number of lines at a time and two is selected. Horizontal Scrolling, tilt the wheel to scroll the following number of characters at a time and one is selected.

Rick, I downloaded and installed the 4000 driver from your link and that fixed it, I can now get into the settings and modify it the way I want, and YES I will not forget what you taught me from this and other posts. Btw the HID services was set to manual, so I changed it to Automatic, per your instructions. Thanks much for all your and others expert advise.
