Problem Solving
Problem:
Mouse causes channel to change.
Action:
Some cheaper mice are not fully compatible with the AdderView MP and can lose data causing the
channel to be changed (if mouse switching of channels is enabled). If you experience this problem
then change the mouse and use a Microsoft, Sun, Logitech, IBM, Compaq or Hewlett-Packard type. If
your computer is a PC then ensure that you are using a Microsoft compatible mouse driver. Some
other manufacturers’ drivers may switch the mouse to use a proprietary mouse data format not
supported by the AdderView MP. If you have unplugged and re-connected a mouse to the AdderView
MP then ensure that you reset it using the mouse reset function (see section 2.10).
Problem:
Mouse jumps around the screen after disconnecting the mouse cable or powering down the
AdderView MP.
Action:
If you have disconnected and re-connected a CPU mouse cable or you have powered down the
AdderView MP then the mouse data format may be out of synchronisation with that required by the PC
(PS/2 or Intellimouse). Try the ‘restore Intellimouse’ function (F6) to resolve the problem or re-power
the CPU.
Problem:
On PCs, mouse moves very slowly but otherwise functions correctly.
Action:
Change the mouse driver to a Microsoft type or take the action recommended in section 4.9.
