All-in-One Qosmio PX30t - Mouse wheel application interruptions

hello there ...
for some reason my mouse wheel has been configured to switch to the start page (tiles).
I find this convenient while operating the desktop activities but during other applications its a bit irritating. Here are examples of what i mean:
1. in google's chrome, i use the wheel extensively to open a new tab. now with 8.1 i cant as the wheel action takes me to start page (tiles)
2. im playing Fable and the block action is set to the mouse wheel (make sense as its the most convenient for such task) but with the defaulted switching behavior .. every time i try to block ..im outta the game to the start page (tiles). I know i could avert this by re-configuring the action to a different button or key, but why not have it as is????
im not sure of these applications to be the only ones as its my first 8.1 use!
thanks.

I'm inclined to agree. At first I thought Toshiba had simply remapped the Middle Mouse Button to bring up the start menu for whatever reason, but from what I can tell the PC actually registers the MMB as the Left Windows Key! Why anyone would think this was a good design idea I have no idea. For me it's just frustrating....
Anyway, I've so far found 2 ways around this:
First; using any other mouse, the MMB functions normally. So you could plug a regular USB or wireless mouse in and presto! Problem solved.
+Of course this is FAR less than ideal. One of the reasons I bought an all in one was for the clean look with matching keyboard and mouse. I don't want to give up a USB port when it already comes with the peripherals built in.+
The second option (The one I'm currently using) is to use key remapping software. I've remapped the Left Window Key to act as the Middle Mouse Button. Now my mouse functions normally.
+The problem with this solution is that the Windows Key on the keyboard now also works like a MMB. I remapped the "drop down menu" key to act as the LWIN key to compensate, but this solution is also far from ideal.+
I think Toshiba should release a firmware (or software??) update that either fixes this issue properly, or at least gives users the option to use the MMB as a MMB.

  • Pros & Cons of a All In One Computer Vs a Desktop

    My current system is a HP Pavilion a1616n  running Xp.
    I will be up grading this year either to another desktop, but afer looking at the All-In-One computers I am thinking about going that way plus I am tight on space.
    What are some of the pros and cons of the All-In-One computers if any
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Good Question! I shall try to answer as best as I can.
    Pros:
    1. Lightweight and simple. An all in one desktop can be pretty easily moved from one room to another and has a minimum amount of wiring. (often just a power plug and wireless keyboard and mouse)
    2. Touchscreen options. Many models now have a touch screen, which is just plain convient and cool.
    3. Space saving. No explaination needed here, it takes less room!
    4. Style. Let's face it, they look cool.
    Cons:
    1. Upgradability. What you see is what you get. Upgrades are limited to memory and hard drive. You generally cannot upgrade the motherboard/proccessor, etc.
    2. Heat. Running something high powered? There is little airspace inside the case. It's designed for people running daily tasks, not high end games or server applications, and cannot be upgraded to handle those.
    3. All-In-One issues: If something breaks, you can't just use a temporary solution while that part is fixed (borrowing someone's monitor, etc). The whole unit has to go back.
    Conclusion: An all-in-one unit has the same pros and cons of a laptop, essentially, with the exeption of being less less portable and not requiring a battery. It's a laptop on a stand with a (typically) larger monitor, so a laptop might be a good alternative to an all-in-one if you don't mind the drawbacks. However, it feels more solid in your hands then a laptop and is perfect for an (only occasionally portable) enviornment, and since it's not likely to be moved you have to worry less about dropping it or replacing batteries overtime. Versus a desktop, a desktop unit is a perfect solution for the upgrader or one who wishes to customize which monitor they use, or wishes higher end (including server) applications. This is a generalization: Of course, there are higher end all-in-ones which can handle such applications, simply you cannot change/configure/upgrade an all-in-one to do so over time.
    I hope this helps, and I'd be glad to clarify any points as needed.

  • Brother all in one unable to scan

    I have a new Macbook Pro running 10.8.1 and a 3 year old Brother MFC 7840W. I can print wirelessly without problems, but I am now unable to scan (I was able to previously with my older Mac running 10.7 using Preview). The Mac recognizes the scanner and proceeds to scan the document, but the scanned image is not saved to the desktop (where I told it to save), or anywhere else.
    I've tried using Preview, then Image Capture to scan, and tried downloading the most recent drivers from Brother's website, to no avail.
    Any thoughts?

    Yes kieveb but have you tried using  the "Image Capture" application that came with your computer?
    I have an Epson all-in-one but the "Image Capture" application does a better job on scanning.
    Make sure your AIO is turned on, then fire up the "Image Capture" application. It should be able to "see" your scanner.
    Also make sure that you have set Image Capture to save your scanned images to somewhere where you can see them (I use the Desktop)
    Then take it from there.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • How to remap mouse wheel in single application?

    Hello,
    I want to achieve simple thing - control audio in Smplayer using mouse wheel. The tricky part is that I need to control the master volume on my AV receiver because the audio in videos is played as bitstream (DTS/AC3 over SPDIF). I'm able to modify the mouse wheel actions in mplayer but unfortunatelly Smplayer doesn't allow such remapping: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/forum/v … f=2&t=6077
    I already use xbindkeys with xvkbd for application specific remapping of both keyboard and mouse. I can remap the wheel for Smplayer window but I'm unable to figure out how to make sure the wheel will work for other applications as well - I'm just unable to simulate mouse wheel action for applications other than Smplayer. (Or is there any other way how to not modify the button for other applications?)
    If I try only simulating the wheel, it doesn't work...
    # .xbindkeysrc
    "xdotool click 4"
    m:0x0 + b:4
    # or
    "xvkbd -text "\m4""
    m:0x0 + b:4
    However if I add "sleep 0.2" before xvkbd or xdotool, it works (but this is unacceptable delay for me). Also if I try to simulate wheel on keyboard press, it works even without the sleep.
    Any help or suggestion?

    not really.. sorry

  • My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

    Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
    A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
    1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
    2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
    3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
    Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

    "This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
    It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
    Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
    Keep us posted.

  • Mouse wheel stops scrolling page, and sometimes refresh does not refresh the correct tab, but the first one in the window.

    I have 27 firefox windows open with a grand total of 141 tabs.
    Some times the input is directed to the wrong window. I will click refresh and it will refresh the first tab in a window, but not the tab I am on. Apparently this also happens when I try and use the mouse wheel or the up and down arrow to scroll a page.
    Some times it works correctly on 1 window, but when I switch to another scrolling stops working.
    Usually rebooting the computer helps, but I should not have to do that.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Since I updated to 6, my mouse wheel scrolling has become erratic, and, depending of the text size on the web page, either moves only a few lines each turn or moves several pages instead of one page as it did before on every tab. how do I fix this?

    Is this a glitch or is it something to do with compatibilty?

    yes, it is still happening, though I've gotten better at ignoring it.
    my touchpad, i think, is an elan ps/2 port smartpad and my mouse is a microsoft basic optical mouse v2, both componants are working correctly and have the latest driver update installed.
    The difference between img 1 and 2 is one scroll wheel turn down. In image 3 I have decreased the view using control - (minus) and in image 4 I have scrolled down one turn of the wheel. you can see that instead of a full page turn, like between img1 and 2, it only moves about 2/3's of the screen down. As every tab seems to have a different text size, the amount of scroll turn changes between tabs, sometimes varying as much as several pages each scroll turn.
    One thing I have noticed, is that the vertical scrolling speed on my mouse settings changes the amount the pages moves when turning the wheel. This only seems to change when in firefox. changing this while using word has no effect on the page movement in word. Increasing the vertical scrolling speed will make the scroll turn move further.
    I have adjusted the scroll settings in options, and no adjustment of settings, (autoscrolling on/off, smooth scrolling on/off in and combinations of off/on) has made this error stop occurring. I have checked for malware etc, no issues. This happened from the instant I upgraded to FF6, so I think there is a corrolation there.

  • HP all in one: can I connect a non-wireless mouse to the computer

    I have an all-in-one desktop computer (HP pavilion with Windows 8) with wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. What happens if the mouse drops to the floor and breaks? Do I need a new mouse or can I connect a normal mouse with a USB to the computer? Or does the computer work ONLY with a wireless mouse?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You can connect a USB mouse to your all-in-one PC.
    You won't need to find any drivers since Windows 8 will provide the driver as soon as you plug in the mouse.

  • Bug? Mouse wheel doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome when added an application skin

    I added a customized skin to make the background of Flex to transparent. The skin is created by the "new file wizard" and only changed the "backgroundRect" 's alpha to "0".
    It works with no problem in IE8.0.6001 and Opera11.6 but doesn't respond to any mouse wheel event in FireFox 11.0 and Google Chrome 17.0.963.79.
    Is it a BUG?
    The flash player's versions are: IE:11.1.102.55; FireFox:11.1.102.55; Chrome:11.1.102.63; Opera:11.1.102.55

    I opened a new Flex project and then tried again. I finally found that it's not a problem of flash but div rendering.
    It seems Firefox and Chorme don't pass mouse wheel event automatically if div layout is set to "absolute".
    Although this is not a Flex issue, any idea of passing that event to flash will be appriciated. I haven't find a way to do it so far :-(
    What I'm doing is editing the "index.tamplate.html" to test. I added a div to contain the div of "flashContent" and set it's style to:
        position: absolute;
        top: 150px; left: 150px;
        height: 250px; width: 250px;
        z-index: 10;
    Another div's z-index is set to 1 to test the overlay effect.
    The reason why I added a div to contain the original div of flash, is I cannot figure out a way to effectively edit the CSS of the "flashContent" div.
    Any help will be thankful!!

  • Scrolling/mouse wheel improvments (VTE-like) in urxvt

    I like urxvt a lot, but there's one little thing that always annoyed me, especially since I used to use XFCE's terminal which, like (I assume) all VTE-based terminals, behaves differently.
    Like pretty much all other emulators, urxvt supports using the mouse wheel to scroll in the terminal's buffer; But, unlike some others, that is all it does.
    Other (VTE-based) terminals, when running an application that uses the "secondary screen"(*), will disable their scrollbar, and instead you can use the wheel to interact with said application. For example, when in `less` or `man` you can scroll around using the mouse wheel. And it's a really nice thing, because it feels very natural (to me, at least).
    (*) not sure whether this is the "official" term or not, but at least that's how it's called in urxvt.
    And it is the one thing that always annoyed me about urxvt: even in such applications, the mouse wheel will simply scroll through urxvt's own buffer. So I finally decided to grab the source code and have a look, and lucky enough it turned out to be pretty easy to change things.
    Introducing a new option: secondaryWheel (ssw)
    Yeah, that name might not be the best, but it goes along side secondaryScreen (ssc) - which is obviously required for this to work at all - as well as secondaryScroll (ssr) - with which, IMHO, it is somewhat related. So, there you go.
    What this new option does, is pretty simple: when using the mouse wheel, if you're on secondary screen then no scrolling will occur, and instead some (3, to be exact) "fake" keystrokes will be sent to the running application. So, a wheel up will have the same result as pressing the Up key three times, and wheel down will do the same as pressing 3 times the Down key.
    Easy enough, but that does the trick: now when running `man`, `less` or any other application that uses the secondary screen, you can use the mouse wheel to move around (or whatever said application would do, if you pressed the Up/Down keys). It should be noted that I'm not sure this is actually how things are done in VTE-based terminals - I never checked - but this does the job, so it works for me.
    This is just another option (disabled by default), so you can either use it from command-line (ssw), or specify it in your .Xdefaults using it's long-name: secondaryWheel
    Like I mentioned earlier, I believe this option is related to secondaryScroll, as in it works best if you disable it, while enabling secondaryWheel
    That way, not only can you use your mouse wheel to scroll around in those applications, but whatever you do here will not "mess up" your scrolling buffer (on primary screen). That's how I use it, and I really like it that way.
    Less blah, more download
    The modified source code is available on this BitBucket repository. Note that it not only features this patch, but also this great one from rlblaster.
    Or, you can also simply use this PKGBUILD.
    Note: The PKGBUILD includes both patches, and also uses different compilation options (than the official package) to disable utmp/wtmp support and tabbed support. This is mainly because I don't use those, plus I beleive that utmp/wtmp doesn't actually work anyway (it would require setuid to be set, which isn't the case in the official package. Though, I did include the required lines (commented out) in the PKGBUILD; should you want to use it, you can simply uncomment them, and don't forget to change the options as well).
    And of course bug reports, suggestions or any other form of constructive criticism is very much welcome.

    Sorry for the necro-bump, but I found this thread while troubleshooting an issue with scrolling in urxvt.
    This is the precise patch I was looking for, but the link to PKGBUILD in the OP's post is broken.
    Here is the direct link to the AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rxvt … -scrolling
    Also this patch is great. I moved over from Gentoo who includes this patch in the rxvt-unicode ebuild so I never really knew about it.
    Moving to Arch caused some frustration as this patch wasn't included and I had no idea what was wrong.
    Anyway, this package is great and I hope it's maintained forever and ever (or for as long as I use urxvt).

  • Installed Firefox 3.6.10 now my mouse wheel doesn't scroll

    I just installed FF 3.6.10 update, and now my mouse wheel doesn't scroll. I checked my mouse settings, and all is correct. Mouse wheel scrolls in non-Firefox applications, including off-line folders and online IE. Mouse wheel worked fine with last version of FF. Also tried hooking up a different mouse, (an old mechanical one at that), same problem. If this cannot be fixed, how can I uninstall the latest update and rollback to the previous version?

    thanks for all the tips, however none of these work. Installed 3.6.10, 3.6.11 and latest version 3.6.13 but the mouse wheel is still not working.
    Waiting for comment from Mozilla. If they take this problem serious, which I doubt, reading about the problem since September and 86 people who reported...
