have any one got any info on what makes mouses work on 64 bit windows

Your mouse does not require a driver for basic operation under Windows x64,
unless you are using brand that does such as Microsofts Intellipoint for
example? The manufacturer is the best source for drivers.

All Logitech products have 64 bit drivers, except their webcams.

Bobby

No drivers are available those yet.

Here is confirmation Tim got from Jason Tsang MVP in the hardware group:

There will be a version of Intellipoint and Intellitype Pro compatible with
the 64 bit version of windows in the winter/spring time frame (late 2005 or
early 2006).

That would be nice if true, but there's no 64 bit driver for most
Logitech mice and trackballs AFAIK.

Setpoint drivers have been long avaialble.

Here are the gaming drivers for x64:

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/do...ontentid=10442

Don't know why you cannot find them. They exist. They work.
I am using Logitech mice and marble mouse trackballs under x64 using the
drivers.

And do not work with the majority of Logitech mice and trackballs.

Because they're not there to find?

Are you forgetting Logitech has been making mice and trackballs since
before Windows 3.1? My mice and trackballs are relatively new but will
not work with *any* available Logitech driver, they require MouseWare
which does not have a 64 bit version and will not install in X64.
Devices that require MouseWare will not work with SetPoint or the
gaming drivers and that's the HUGE majority of mice and trackballs sold
by Logitech over the years.

I have several Logitech mice...2 Marble mice, two basic black 2 button mice,
and couple of higher end mice. I am using one of the trackballs and one of
the black basic mice under x64.
The black basic mouse works fine with the windows x64 drivers, and the
trackball works either with or without the Setpoint drivers. Without
Setpoint, it functions as a two button mouse. With Setpoint the other two
buttons are enabled, as is chording, scroll lock and zoom. Altho the
trackballs do not ship with setpoint, it works for them under x64. The
trackballs use Mouseware under Windows XP Pro. I do not know why you cannot
get yours to work.

No, they do not. There is no third button function under the windows
X64 drivers. If the mouse doesn't work as intended saying it "works
fine" is not a correct statement, it doesn't work "fine", it doesn't
work as it should!

Again, totally and completely unacceptable, if it works as a two button
mouse it does NOT work. That's like saying "the printer works fine
except it doesn't print vowels."

> With Setpoint the other two buttons are enabled,

With Setpoint I completely lost my mouse and had to remove Setpoint to
get it back!

> I do not know why you cannot get yours to work.

I believe we're defining "work" differently.

There is a very fine utility that someone here pointed me to that
restores middle button functionality but that's not a Logitech driver,
I still believe your statement "All Logitech products have 64 bit
drivers, except their webcams." to be incorrect and, worse, misleading.
There is no 64 bit mouseware and there needs to be.
