Razer Deathadder + Compatability mode issue on Windows 7 64
19. August 2009 - 17:56
Ok so I'm running Windows 7 x64 atm and as you know quake 3 has issues with with vista. I was getting a dark screen when I started up quake or excessive plus in both vista and now Windows 7. So I set in options to run in compatibility mode for XP service pack 2, however doing this makes the mouse 3, 4 and 5 buttons for my DA unresponsive in game and on the quake 3 start menu.
To be able to play comfortably using this mouse and to stop the screen being to dark I have to play without compatibility mode and use the r_ignorehwgamma "1" command for the brightness.
Has anyone else that use the death adder on vista 64 or win 7 64 experienced this issue? It probably also does it on vista/win 7 32 bit also, but I'm not sure as I haven't tried.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the DA's drivers. I'm running 1.09 and firmware 1.25
thx

yea i know about xp mode, but it's a separate download, and again it's mainly an issue with the deathadder, hence my opening post. if i use my intelli mouse 3.0 in compatibility mode, all the buttons work fine. however i wish to use my DA

that isn't to do with the deathadder terror., pb kicks you if you have windows 7, does it for me too, it's a bug i believe.
