pang 0 Posted December 9, 2002 hey guys, i hope you got any solution for my problem: since i alt- tabbed between ofp and my desktop several times, my mouse seems to be messed up. the problem wont even disappear, if i reboot.... even worse: now i got everytime i start up my computer, a bouncing mouse and a keyboard that hits the F12 key continuosly. but when i start up ofp and alt tab back to desktop, the mouse and keyboard work fine, but only if i keep ofp running in the background.... seems like ofp messed up something with my mouse and keyboard drivers.... here are my system- specs: a7v333 mainboard sound onboard athlon xp2200+ 512 ddr ram win2kpro gf4 ti4200 -------- running ofp v.1.90 with a logitech optical mouse, using the basic windows-mouse driver latest directx and nvidia drivers installed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACES_KEVIN 0 Posted December 9, 2002 I have windows 200 professional, and i seem to alt tab and everything just fine so i dont think it has anything to do with the Operating System itself. Specs look good see no problem there, maybe just some glitch or some weird shit, tried reinstalling OFP? Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted December 9, 2002 yep, the problem is, that i dont really want to reinstall ofp... otherwise i couldnt get the control back over my mouse.... as i said, the mouse ONLY works correctly if i run ofp in the background, so it seems like ofp messed up some driver for the first time, alt tabbing was no problem, but after about one week, this problem appeared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-crow- 0 Posted December 10, 2002 I believe that your problem is due to ofp. The reason I say this is I am having problems with my mouse also. The scroll wheel will not work now that I have installed 1.90. I have tried reinstalling the drivers for the mouse and uninstalling them and running off windows drivers. I have a logitech mouse. I have heard a few people say it is due to the logitech mouse. I think it is something else. I have uninstalled the logetech drivers and used the old mouse that came with my computer and still the same thing. I hae windows 98. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted December 10, 2002 yep, i´ve read those threads about the mousewheel too... but the mousewhell works fine for me. the problem is, that ofp done something to my mouse AND keyboard. as i said before: the mouse jumps everysecond or so to the upper right corner of the desktop and the keyboard keeps pressing the F12 key.... this is a really serious problem for me, because i cant really use my computer. i figured out, that if i switch the mouse axis in ofp options and QUIT the game, the controls work fine..... ? i hope any programmer of ofp is reading this and can give me a clue, about how to fix this.

hugo2020 0 Posted December 10, 2002 try PS/2 or USB connect, perhaps it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted December 10, 2002 have a logitech optical USB mouse connected to a USB->PS/2 switch.... so i had my mouse plugged in the ps2 port. switching to usb neither helped. the mouse still bounced to the upper right corner of the desktop and the keyboard hit that f12 aswell..... so it didnt help in any way... anyway thanks for your replies so far, but i think that only one of those programmers may have a sulotion for that problem, though ofp seems to access any windows- file related to the control interfaces.

theavonlady 2 Posted December 10, 2002 If this is happening in Windows, even when OFP is not run, I don't think it has anything to do with OFP whatsoever. Have you gone into Control Panel\System\Device Manager to make sure there are no conflicting, unidentfiable or duplicate entries? Do you have any other peripherals attached to your PC, whether USB, gaming device or parralel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted December 10, 2002 the weird thing is, that it doesnt happen if ofp IS running.... i have a USB-graphics-tablet installed, too but its mostly off. i have two mouses displayed in my system/mouse/hardware entry.... one entry says PS/2 compatible mouse, the other one says HID compatible mouse.... i´m not sure if one of these entries may be the graphics-pen-device, or its a doubled mouse driver-thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pang 0 Posted December 10, 2002 yes, im gonna try removing one of those drivers later... first i gotta do some work on my pc first, and i dont really want to make it even worse, before i finished the important work. i´ll let you know, if this worked or not, maybe tomorrow or the day after. greetings pang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted December 11, 2002 so now im really confused.... ok, i started up my system today and the mouse and keyboard just worked fine right from the beginning.... well actually this makes me happy, because the problem seems to have wipeouted itself hmm, anyways: i´m still curious what was the reason....
