EDIT:

DOWNLOAD X-Mouse Button Control 1.28 they have a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. Once installed click the middle mouse dropdown, select "FLIP 3d *Vista only", it's that easy.

OR

the alternate way is to create a flip3d shortcut and map it using a mouse configuration program that works with your mouse. I did the following..

1. Right click on your desktop and select New and then Shortcut.

2. Copy and paste "RunDll32 DwmApi #105" (without the qoutes) into the location box and hit Next.

3. Enter in a name for your shortcut and hit Finish.

4. Copy/Cut and Paste your new shortcut where ever you want.

Now download IntelliPoint 6.1, from here and install it. I have the most generic non Microsoft of OPTICAL MOUSE and it still worked. So I can confirm intellipoint works on generic non MS mouses. Once you install Intellipoint, click the "Microsoft Mouse" icon it created on your desktop to launch Intellipoint. Click "wheel button" dropdown and select "Custom" at the very bottom of the drop down. Now it will give you an option to browse for a file, browse to the shortcut file we made earlier, and click apply. FLIP 3d IS NOW APPLIED TO YOUR MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON!! and might i say it's very useful. Enjoy!

This is nice because I have a button on my mouse that does NOTHING, and the icon for it has two windows infront of each other, looks like it was made for Flip3D..

-Edit-

Doesn't work, alternativly, you can download a small app called HotkeyP and use that to bind Flip3D.

A Logitech? I have that same button on my Logitech MX510. I think it brings up the desktop if you have the Logitech software installed.

I'm in the same boat as you. The intellipoint software didn't work with my mouse. Everytime I started the app it told me to install an MS mouse or connect my bluetooth MS mouse. I ignored the prompts and went to the configuration screen but any changes I made (ie. setting middle click to 'instant preview') had no effect.

The app worked fine when I plugged in an old MS optical mouse.

Does anyone know if it's possible to make my own shortcut for quick view?

Sorry, my post wasn't clear. What I meant was, is there a way to use the hotkeyP (or any app that can bind shorcuts to the mouse) to launch Instant Viewer, not Flip3D. The app (Instant Viewer) is already on my computer so there must be some other way to launch it.

IntelliPoint drivers don't work with PS/2 mouses...

what are you talking about? I have my Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 connected via the PS/2 port and the newest IntelliPoint drivers work flawlessly :blink:

I think he means an old roll ball mouse, i think only optical mouses are supported, I could be wrong though.

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
