Logitech Mouseware in XP?

kogo
I have Mouseware 9. 10 installed from a logitech CD, but it seems that the drivers won't recognize my Mouseman+ USB optical. I only have 2 buttons right now due to my mouse being set as a generic model, hindering both my CS and Q3 skills, but my ability to run Maya 3.

2 sidewinder gamepads in win2000?

itsari
When I use 2 sidewinder gamepads (the originals) daisychained in win 2k, in games there are random button presses, notably up+left. Both sidewinders are fine. Anyone had similar problems? It doesn't happen in win98se Celeron 333@375 Win 2k SBLive! 1024 Player Sidewinder gamepad (original) Maybe it's the sblive drivers.

multiple display drama

felix
Two Questions: a) Does Win2k support more than one display adapter ie two monitors? Does anyone know whether the above will work with two PCI Trio64's? I am attempting to get dual monitors working on an old dog box for the hell of it.

sound card keeps getting re-detected upon fresh boot

three
This has been happening for some time now and happened when I was still using 98SE. Every morning I come to work and boot up this pc, during startup, windows will say that it detected the soundcard (ESS Solo1 PCI) and if I would like to install the drivers for it.

Remote Admin...

loengard
Sure - Netmeeting allowed similar functionality. . . . This is faster, since it's essentially built on the Terminal Services model from Win2K Server editions. All I can say is it's about damned time they included something like this native to the OS.
