Delete the mouse driver in Device Manager and reboot. Windows will use the default one in stead of the one you installed that does this. Might help. If not and you feel you need a non-default mouse driver, just reinstall it.

It might help to know a bit more about your hardware, computer type, mouse and keyboard being used and what settings you are trying to use...is the mouse/keyboard wireless or hardware?

Are you serious. I been using trackball all my life (and that's a long time). I didn't know those things are there...and I just love trackball mouse and I just move the ball and click the button. Most of the one I use are Kingsington.
