Does anyone know if Microsoft is going to release Vista drivers for thier
trackball. I ahve arthritis in my thumbs and the ability to re-assign the
button actions helps a bunch. IF not, does anyone know of a trackball or
other mouse that does work well with Vista.

Thanks -- that did the trick. I wonder why the driver was not available via
the download center (only the XP/200 one was). Oh well, the driver works
thanks to you.

I can't answer for Microsoft, but you might want to try one of the
Kensington trackballs. They are supposed to be good.

I've always liked Logitech mice, but IIRC some people have experienced
problems with the Logitech software. I'd Google for "problems Logitech
mouse software Vista" or the like first.
