Does you admin have any kind of system in place that would keep changes to your computer from being saved after a reboot. I know there are alot af admins that have a system in place that everytime a user shuts down and starts up it resets all of the registry settings to a preset. the reason for this is that if changes are made to system properties or other things like that they will be resest everytime the computer is rebooted to maintain some consitancy across the board.
no it is my personal computer and i have admin rights to it
is there a posable setting that i may have turned on and not know it in windows 7 that could cause this
3d connection does not have a driver for the Spaceball 5000 in Windows 7. The last supported driver for the Spaceball was Vista.
Several people have had this issue but unfortunately 3d connection does not support Windows 7 for the Spaceball. Some have had luck with the Vista driver but they also have had issues with programming the controller. Without an updated driver unfortunately you will probably continue to have issues. Sorry.
We don't have them here but I did hear once about there being a problem being unable to map any command that was changed by SolidWorks into a "flyout command".
Anyone else know & can help?
