I don't think so. Apple is very careful about what hardware they include; but they do provide software support for available hardware.

That makes sense.
There is a Mouse Control Panel, with a "Wheel" tab, so one should not need to change the registry; however the NumericUpDown there has its MinimumValue set to 1.

Ok,
I am extremely new to WMI. In fact, what I know about it is what I've learned in the past couple hours while trying to solve a hardware related problem.
What I would like to do is get a particular instance of a WMI class (Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration), cache the current settings on a users computer, change certain settings, run my operation, and then restore the original WMI class instance.
After reading up on the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration from here[^], I have found that there are functions that can change the settings I am interested in modifying. My fear is, however, that since this application will be used on various systems with different hardware devices and original network settings that I will call a function that may have an unexpected consequences which I may not be able to restore (or know how to restore.)
So, my thought is that I'd much rather take a snapshot of the users network configurations, make my changes and do what I need to do and then do a complete restore of the user's original network adapter configuration.
Is this possible through WMI and, if so, is it advisable?

Sorry, I forgot to mention. I am implementing this within a C# application. I can interpret code in just about any language, but this needs to be a .Net solution.

A friend of mine plays World Of Warcraft far more than in good for him! He has a mouse (not the WoW one) that has a few extra function buttons and he asked me if it was possible to use them for some of the functions that the WoW one does.
My first reaction was yeah - listen for the messages from his mouse, block those but send new messages instead, so...
Do any of you gamers out there know what messages the WoW mouse sends (I've googled but not found anything so far) or if this is even possible?

Hi Dave,
Seems there are no gamers on-line. Either CP is an extremely serious site, or all gamers are very busy and can't be bothered.
Did you use SPY++ to look for any mouse messages? Maybe WoW interacts with the device driver directly, and no Windows messages are generated at all?

Hi Luc,
Without a WoW mouse to 'hack' then Spy++ isn't much use.
Luc Pattyn wrote: Maybe WoW interacts with the device driver directly
I think that is probably the case so unless I emulate the driver it can't be done. That's way too much work for a one off (would be worthwhile for a commercial product though - there are enough sad gits out there that would buy it!).
Thanks anyway

Spy++ is a good suggestion.
You may also want to check to see how the decide is registered. You may find that it is seen as both a pointing device and possibly a keyboard and is simply emulating keystrokes with the extra buttons.

That's the thing - I don't have an original to check so I was hoping that someone might have already done something similar and be able to share their reasearch.
Thanks for you time anyway

hello friends, I have a big problem with my Desktop(PC de bureau) Brett. It does not want to boot and I have this message displayed on my screen
Windows could not start properly, a new software or hardware may be responsible for this problem.
if your computer stops responding, so as to restart inatendues or been automatically stopped to protect your files or folders, select 'Last Known Good Configuration (to return to the last parameter operating correctly)'
If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to power failure or because the power button or reset has been activated, or if you do not know the cause of this problem, choose 'Start Windows normally' .
Safe Mode
safe mode with network support
command prompt back in safe mode
Last Known Good Configuration
start windows normally.
knowing that I tried all suggestions and nothing happens if I put the cd rom windows xpSP3 EVEN boot from CD (F12)
Thank you for helping me
Cordially

You didn't specify whether the computer boots in safe mode. What version of Windows' is Brett running under?
You could try running the System Restore[^] tool from the command-line. I suggest you make a backup of all your data before you start experimenting.

Once you see the boot-menu, you should "at least" be able to select one of the options using the up-/down arrow keys.
You state that you can't "execute anything"; does that mean that you can't enter the command prompt in safe mode, do you get an error when running a command, or does the keyboard refuse?
Does your PC have an option to boot from USB? It might be more efficient to salvage your work from the broken system and to reinstall it, depending on the cause.

You didn't spill coffee on your keyboard, did you?
Time to boot from some other device and whipp out some diagnose-tool. Does the system boot from a floppy? Can it be booted otherwise?

No smoking and drinking behind the keyboard?

From which we deduce that you have a floppy-drive. I'm going to guess that it's booting to the harddisk without even trying the floppy.
Which brings you indeed to the BIOS-settings, which will vary depending on your brand. You can usually enter the BIOS by hitting the DEL key a few times, just before the PC tries to boot. There should be some entry that defines in what order to "try" the bootdevices.
That won't repair your PC btw, it would only allow you to boot again. From there-on, you'd still have to repair the system.
An alternative option would be to create a CD that you can boot from. There are various Live-CD's available for download, complete with virusscanners
