have you got the latest version of setpoint? I had really annoying problems with earlier versions of it. Randomly forgetting what I'd told it for example.

You can download setpoint on this page, just select what operating system you have.

And I didn't like flip3d. I found Switcher to be far more useful. But then I uninstalled that after realising that nothing ever compares to the fun you can have with compiz. You can spend ages just dragging the windows around :P

I do have the latest version of SetPoint. I have tried 2 other versions also, none of them detect my mouse nor my keyboard. (Keyboard specifically says "Vista compliant".

Start by removing all Logitech software, and running Ccleaner.

First, right-click on "computer" > properties > "advanced system settings" (if you get a prompt to "allow", read my guide ) > "hardware" > Windows update driver settings > "ask me each time I connect a new device before checking for drivers" > ok > apply, don't exit yet; now, while we are in here click on the "advanced" tab > click on "settings" for performance > click on the "advanced" tab > select "change" under Virtual memory" > uncheck (if checked) "automatically manage paging file size for all drivers" > now, do one of the following:

a) if you have 4GB ram (installed), or more, select "no paging file" for your C: drive. Click set > ok > apply > ok > restart. ~~ or ~~

b) select "custom size" and set both the min/max to the "recommended" amount rounded down to the nearest 500MB. The min/max should be exactly the same, and be x000MB or x500MB. Click set > ok > apply > ok > restart.

Now that you've restarted, save the attached zip to your computer (it is 32-bit mouse drivers, vista, for the Mx518). I don't know what keyboard you are using, but go here to find your drivers. Now, as an administrator (you wouldn't have to worry about that at all if you read my guide ), go into device manager. While you're in here, find your C drive > right click [rc] > properties > policies > "enable advanced disk performance"; this will increase your r/w speeds (on SATA drives) ~ 15% on average, but only do this if:

a) you are using a lappy, with a decent battery -or-
b) you have an "uninterruptable power supply" (UPS). Rarely, "catastrophic" power spikes or outages can cause minor memory loss (just what you were working on without saving when the power went out).

Now then, find your keyboard and mouse in device manager, and select to uninstall the drivers OF ONE DEVICE. Do not reboot yet, or you may not have a mouse or keyboard after you boot into windows. At the top is a little icon with a magnifying glass. Click it to "scan for hardware changes"... alternatively, you could just right click any device > scan for hardware changes. If you are doing your mouse first, you need to use your keyboard to do it, and vice versa. Do not let Vista install manager install it, say no to any prompts. Now, select to "update driver software" for the mouse/keyboard, which should have an exclamation point attached as "unknown device", and choose to manually select the driver > browse to the location of the (extracted) driver > install that driver. Now, do the other device. Now, install directly from Logitech the software for your mouse as well as this. Restart, and you should be set

You didn't attach any zip file, can't go past step 3 or so.

Finally managed to uninstall the correct Human Interface Device, downloading driver now.

Edit: No luck. Same exact issue, nothing detected by SetPoint.
