Hello! I just bought my Intellimouse Explorer 4.0

It's a great mouse... extremely ergonomic and very precise. Now I wouldn't use another mouse, even if it's a Logitech :p

But... I noticed that I can scroll only in an active window. Unlike other mice I had, now, if I have let's say an explorer window opened and Winamp's playlist on my desktop, I have to click (activate) the window I want to scroll in. Previously I only had to move my cursor from my SELECTED explorer view OVER the playlist to scroll. I found out this feature is called "Universal scrolling" or "Hovering scroll".

I would really want to know if some of you know about this and if I could enable it somehow ('caus it's very helpful).

P.S. excuse my english :alien:

Great mouse :) I must live with my Intellimouse Optical 1.1a for now :p

Enable ClearType, and set the contrast to 1000. You'll love it. It's ClearTweak. There are many-a-thread about it back a few months ago. Everyone should have ClearType turned on (since Microsoft is making Longhorn require it, but that's for another thread).
:rolleyes: Cleartype is enabled, check the screenshots. And who told you it's a requirement for longhorn? Since when a font smoothing setting will be a requirement for a future OS, and since when everyone should use it just because of that reason? :huh: They are just going to improve it for Longhorn, not force it.

And, I use cleartype.

I JUST got mine in the mail today and it kicks ass. The wheel scrolls so nicely and the shape of it is absolutley perfect. My only problem is the two side buttons, I think they are a little to high for me. I am sure I will get used to it, but this is a nice mouse.

Search ebay, you can find the OEM for suprisingly cheap. I found mine for $14, with shipping, so its not that bad..:-P

    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575

      Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

      I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
