Hp 2.4 ghz wireless optical mobile mouse - back and forward not working

Hello everyone,
I bought an HP 2.4 ghz wireless optical mobile mouse, installed the drivers and sw in the CD that came with it, but I can't get the back/forward functions on the center wheel to work (neither on Chrome nor Windows Explorer).
My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise + SP1 (64-bit).
Could it be a driver/OS issue? Or should it work out of the box and is probably a hardware issue?
I have:
- uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers on the CD;
- uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers on the HP webpage;
- uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers on the HP webpage and then the ones on the CD (which i think made some sort of upgrade on the HP Mouse Suite).
What should I do to get back/forward to work?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Just figured out the left/right arrows on the wheel are for horizontal scrolling only, and not back/forward.
Does HP plan to support the back/forward function in this mouse model? The hardware is there, it's just a matter of drivers.
The issue was solved via remapping the mouse keys with not-HP software. This is something a standard user would probably have trouble doing.
This is an entry level product, but 99% of the mouses I've seen that have center wheel left/right capabilities can be configurated to back/forward.

Mobile wifi mouse back and forward functions don't work

I just bought the hp wifi mobile mouse model MOWFFKUL and back and forward functions don't work and it's driving me crazy. I bought it for these specific functions. At first I thought that it was a broken mouse. So I went and returned it, got back home, and the same thing. I set the side buttons to other functrion options and they work. What the hell??? just the back and forward buttons don't. I'm losing my mind big time because I REALLY NEED those buttons/functions to work!! All the regular top buttons functrion fine, it's only the back forward setting that DOESN't WORK.

I restarted my laptop, and the buttons worked! For only 2 minutes. Then nada ever again. What a POS. Come on HP, give a solution. I bought and returned it twice, which makes this my third wifi mouse. What a waste of my time. I think I'm just gonna return this mouse and forget the wifi mouse. Functionality is more important than a freed up USB port. I bought it for the forward/backward buttons specifically. HP used to make wonderful products, but this experience bring that into question now.

Mouse back and forward buttons don't work

I have a Dell wireless bluetooth mouse. I installed Safari 4, and I like it a lot. I am thinking of ditching IE, but the back and forward buttons on my mouse don't do anything in Safari. It's very frustrating having to click the back button on screen instead of directly on my mouse. The buttons work perfectly in IE and in Windows explorer. I reinstalled the mouse drivers, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Did u get any software for your mouse? What brand is your mouse? I have Logitech setpoint software, where I can adjust mouse profile, setup mouse buttons action... I also have option (checkbox) to make my mouse use windows generic settings (the one you have in Control Panel under mouse section.
Now, this is just an idea, but it's good start point.
What you can also do (if you have such software installed) to uninstall it, restart, and see if Safari back/forward will work. Maybe this software (for some bizarre reason) conflicts Safari default action (as you said you don't have such problem in Fx)
Let me know if this worked for you.
Cheers,
Miki
EDIT: Before you do all this, maybe it's easier for you (if possible) to try another mouse, to see if you have same issues or not

[SOLVED] Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 scroll does not working

Hello,
I bought recently a Mobile Mouse 3500 from Microsoft. Anything working fine unless the mouse scroll. Below my xorg.conf mouse section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
I tried to change to 4 5 6 7 but nothing happened
Anyone know anything about it ?

Done.

Ask Microsoft or install different mouse control software such as my personal favorite: SteerMouse 4.1.8.

Mouse - Drag and drop not working

The Drag and drop feature is not working with my mouse. The mouse was tested and is fine. It's a software thing. It works with everything else, but if I try to select something and drag it, it doesn't work. Any advice?

PaulyK,
Believe it or not it may take multiple or several restarts....not just a couple. I have seen where it took 5 or 6. I have also seen where this did not clear the problem.
re: "Any other upgrades that might help with out having to buy new software"
The 10.2.8 update to Jaguar was the last before the "upgrade" to 10.3 Panther which is a paid upgrade.
There is a third party utility Dragster that may correct this problem or you can delete the associated files that it deletes manually. The files are:
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.dock.plist (your choice to delete this or not)
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.LaunchServices.LocalCache.csstore
com.apple.LaunchServices. plist
com.apple.LauchServices. UserCache.csstore
LSApplications
LSClaimedTypes
LSSchemes
The contents of the /Library/Caches/ folder
You should have no problem with this utility or deleting the files manually if you go that route but I cannot vouch for it as it is third party....Use at your own risk!
edit: I just noticed that the link is no longer working for Dragster and the software now is part of a retired collection of apps from ifthen software.
If after multiple restarts and/or using Dragster or manually deleting the associated problem files you have no luck you might want to try applying the 10.2.8 Combo Update again to see if this will clear up the problem. Remember to repair permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update.
The Combo Update can be found here.
Post back if still no luck,

Optical mouse (AVF AM1940U) is not working in CQ40-101TU which is running Windows 7 32-bit.

Hi. I'm using Compaq CQ40-101TU which is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.. My optical mouse (AVF AM1940U) is not working in USB ports. The pointer of mouse is always stuck at top of the screen. I can move the mouse left or right to both edges of the screen at the top and can right click in this regard it works but I cannot move the mouse down the screen.
What is the problem? May I know how to solve it?
Thanks.

Ya. Another mouse didn't have problem. This is the first time I face this problem. When this optical mouse is plugged into USB ports, the driver named "iBall Advanced Mouse" is being installed. After that, my mouse cannot working.
Is that I have to install another driver before using this mouse?
Thanks.

Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard?

Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard? I actually had to go back to my previous operating system to get this to work. I would however prefer to use Snow Leopard...if Apple & HUAWEI have finally got their act together!

There appears to be a problem with drivers for USB wireless modems with 10.6. I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now can't connect to the internet with my wireless modem. I hope Apple sort this out soon. Or maybe it's Huawei that needs to put a 10.6 driver into its software.

The back and forward buttons on Logitech mouse don't work

My logitech performance MX back and forward buttons don't work. I tried in safe mode and they still don't work. I tried creating a custom shortcut in logitech setpoint and that didn't work either. I tried using the native mouse driver and not logitech. No luck.
I really like this functionality. Is there a way to enable these buttons?

Hi mike,
i'm not sure if this will help but how about this add-on called "Vimperator". It is easy to use and works like vim. (Try this as an alternate till we figure out the problem) :)
Hope that helped.

Mouse pad virtual wheel not working in bookmarks menu

Hi,
My laptops mouse pad wheel does not work in the bookmarks menu. It works fine in any other application or on the main view in firefox. I'm not very organized and have hundreds of bookmarks, it's frustrating to have to wait for the up/down buttons in the bookmarks menu to scroll.

Maybe FCP 3 doesn't provide support for mouse wheel scrolling? I can't remember and I'm not going to install FCP 3 to test that theory.
You should be able to at least set the MS mouse driver to perform scroll wheel functions in FCP through the MS mouse preference pane (zoom in/out for example) but I don't know if that includes scrolling.

My iMac mouse right click does not work now

Hi all,
My iMac mouse right click does not work now. It was fine a couple of days ago.
Right click is definitely enabled, I have checked it several times.
A Google search revealed that in Firefox it could be that I'm not using the latest version of Firebug. I have auto updates on and Firebug is the latest version 1.11.3
I use right click for correcting spell checked words, instead of a suggested correct spelling I get the 'open in a new tab' menu.
In Firefox when I right click to open in a new tab I get the menu but it does nothing.
It is driving me mad
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you
P.S. thought it was suddenly working when I did the spell check in this post but it was the left click doign it....

I don't use Firefox so I can't test it, but it might be something to do with a preference setting. Have a look at this link (ignore all the instructions), just look at the image of the preferences, there appears to be a setting in Javascript preferences relating to contextual menus. Check to see what your settings are:

Razer DeathAdder Mouse back button doesn't work

I got the new Air (Intel i5 1.3Ghz) and it came with OSX 10.8. Right now it is updated to 10.8.4.
I connected my Razer DeathAdder 3.5G mouse and the back button does not work. I downloaded the correct driver from Razer and I tried to customize it but it only allows me to set the back button as "button 4" and the forward button as "button 5." According to the Razer website FAQ, these settings are recognized on windows as back/forward and that if you want to use these buttons on OSX, you must set the "button 4" as back. It reccomends that I go into the System Preference > Mouse and change the settings.
Unfortunatly in the Mouse settings, there is only Tracking Speed, Double-Click Speed, Scrolling Speed, and Primary Mouse Button.
Does anybody have ANY idea how I can get the two buttons to do back and forward? At the moment, both back and forward buttons just open links in a new tab.
Cheers
ahan88

I just figured it out. You need to download Synapse software from
Razer Support
then you configure the buttons with keyboard assignments as follows:
Select button 4. Keyboard shortcut.Command+[
Select button 5. Keyboard shortcut.Command+]
Hope that helps!

The Restriction option to NOT ALLOW CHANGES to Mobile or Cellular data does not work why is this ?

Hi there,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Additionally, you may want to try completely disabling and re-enabling restrictions.

How can I stick an accordion navigation MENU on top of a mobile scrolling page and make it work properly?
As I can't pin it, I keep it on top of the page with scroll effect 0.
It collapse, shows the menu buttons but doesn't close back once it reaches the anchorpoint.

Muse won't let you, at least not that I know of. You could find the class in the code that muse gives it position: fixed…I think. You could paste it into the head area of your page properties to override the class. I believe something like this would give you persistent nav bar, pinned at the very top, on mobile:
#youmuseclass {position: fixed;}
I wouldn't use any parallax on mobile either, the performance is terrible.
