    IT SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!!

    I have to SEARCH for places on the page in which it will let me scroll. It CRASHES, and I lose mouse support. And for the ability to scroll left and right, I have the problems listed above? its NOT worth it. Not to mention.. its CONSTANTLY drifting. Anyway, hopefully the T510 will be better. Does ANYONE have a link or old driver for the ultranav WITHOUT left/right scroll that I can use?

    Kind regards..

    If you save your SWTools folder like we told you to, there'll be a copy in there. I'm curious, why would you upgrade something you were perfectly happy with?

    Its the win7 driver. And in which post did you tell me to that you're certain I read prior to having encountered the problem? lol. That's a bit presumptuous.

    Not to mention, your post is pointless ZaZ. You reprimand, as though that solves a problem.

    It's in the sticky at the top of the forum, the one that says " Please Read Before Posting":


    I reprimanded no one. Is your problem so serious you can't endure a little good-natured ribbing?

    So, if I read it today, right now, will it solve my problem?

    If that was a joke, I just didn't realize it - my bad. Text isn't the easiest to distill the difference between humor and needless condescension. Please excuse my misunderstanding.

    I don't quite understand your problem. Did you upgrade a windows 7 ultranav driver? Then roll it back.

    Are you talking about the ultranav driver for windows 7 itself? Because I haven't had a problem.

    I deleted it - but it comes back! And when it does, it crashes mid-scroll. I'd like to find an old ultranav that just scrolls in the vertical plane.

    I'm using that driver on my T500 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, with no problems at all. It performs just as it should, with no crashing or drifting or whatever. That indicates that the problem lies with either your configuration or some other aspect of your machine.

    Also, I believe the UltraNav driver has always had left/right scroll?

    Have you tried re-installing the driver (run the .exe in the Drivers folder to which the download extracted the files)?

    I have lots of problems with mine too. I have Win 7 64 bit. It often crashes and so I can't use the middle mouse button. My bluetooth mouses kills it so I have to restart the computer everytime I finish using my bluetooth mouse and want to have use off the ultranav middle mouse.

    Hey Paul, do you happen to have an older version of the driver?
