Anyone have any programmes that stop your games from being minimised?

Because whenever I'm playing CSS or F.E.A.R. or DoD:S or anything really, my mouse decides that it has low battery, even though it dosn't, and pops up a little "your mouse has critical battery" message, that minimises my game, very annoying, I allways end up dead.

I noticed on DOOM 3 you can't minnimise, unless you get a programme, I LOVED THAT, is there a programme that does the opposite for other games?

cheers guys

not using a cordless mouse?

they are NOT the way forward

i demand you put a wire on the mouse

Never thought i'd say this.


shot2bits is right.

either that or remove the mouse app, you should still get most functio, just not the useless shines.

It's shown as Microsoft Intellipoint in add/remove programs, without it the wheel should still work, but possibly not the tilt or more than 3 buttons. If it's a smooth scroller you could have trouble with its sensitivity too.

If it goes wrong, just can always reinstall it from here.

I have an MS Wireless Optical 2.0 and it's stopped misbehaving re: battery low mesage since I started using alkaline batteries instead of rechargables.

It could be easily made I suppose. All you have to do is hook into the on-focus-change callback in windows and kill the callback off before it actually changes focus. Not sure how good an idea that would be mind - all sorts of strange behaviour could come of it. Also things like ctrl+alt+del would always have priority so you couldn't completely stop all focus changes.

Maybe i'll have a go at it one day.

I'm not aware of any that exisit at the moment.

As for wireless mice - or any mice really - go with the windows drivers, they are sooooo much faster. I use wireless mice all the time, no probs here.
