So I didnt have any backup of recent settings.

Just an idea…
What happens if you install it as a different user and opt for "Use your own private configuration files"?
Could you then export the 'out of the box' settings and import those to the version you now have running?

^ I've lost custom shortcuts  (I think all) *and* a lot of default ones - I didnt do anything wild & crazy and I'm not sure what caused it. I'm considering a reinstall but I'll probably stick with 10.
-tomos (September 17, 2011, 10:49 AM)

Did you ever export your settings?

I do that periodically as the way I use DOpus evolves.

The 'everything changed' phenomenon happened to me when I went to 10, so I just imported the most recent settings and all was back to normal.

So, try exporting your settings before updating and then reading them back afterwards.

This might be quite a nice use for one of the little touch screens — to display this sort of information as soon as the subject application gains focus.

« Last post by cranioscopical on September 15, 2011, 06:13 PM »
Connected and working.

As you know, the DisplayLink driver on the installation CD won't work on W7-64, so I had downloaded the latest from DisplayLink's site (though I discovered also that w7 will 'go fetch' that like a good dog O/S, without intervention).

I had also dl'd the latest touch stuff from MIMO and installed that. BUT I just couldn't get the thing to calibrate properly.

So, I ripped it all out again, rebooted, and applied the latest DisplayLink driver (again) and then the touch software from the CD — NOT the updated version. That version looks very different, but it works right away. The whole thing took about 10 minutes — including uninstalling, reinstalling, and calibration.

When I have the patience I'll replace the touch software with what I downloaded and see if that now works for me (though I can't see that it would offer any advantage).

I'm beginning to realize that any enterprise that I undertake is going to suffer from some fool doing the wrong thing  :-[  ;D ;D ;D

Tomorrow I can play with WinButtons. Obviously, right now, at least some of what I touch on the MIMO screen occurs on the MIMO screen — not at all the point of my having one.

For me, the logical place for the MIMO is in the middle of my keyboard where it's equally accessible to any of my three either hand.

I'll be honest and admit I didn't try the latest drivers; I'll try them when I get back.

Is anyone using the mimo with win7 64 bit? Just wondering if that's going to be a problem when I move from 32 bit.
-nudone (September 15, 2011, 11:05 AM)

That's what I have.

So far I've not tried very hard. I just finished setting up and tweaking a new W7 machine that needs to suit my work style (which isn't really the W7 way).  My appetite for munching on this is therefore somewhat dulled  :-[

I am using the latest drivers from DisplayLink.

I was  pretty sure I'd covered that button, Ath, but then I was pretty sure that today is Friday (it's Thursday here).

Glad you rebooted just often enough to get it right :D
-Ath (September 15, 2011, 01:44 AM)

I see your point  ;D

At the moment I'm still floundering.

MIMO is monitor 3 and is somehow paired with monitor 1, thus any touch on the MIMO reults in 'tablet' input to monitor 1.
For example with 'numkeypad' active on MIMO, touching the buttons (or should I say hammering — the 'touch' isn't quite what I expected) gives tablet input on monitor 1.
MIMO is set to 'extend my desktop...' not to mirror #1
I think that the Displaylink drivers are thwarted by something (probably me).
The best thing is to rip out the drivers and go again.

I didn't expect 2 USB connectors on the MIMO. Just one powers it perfectly well on my box.

Jim,

Can't attach stuff to a pm so I'll reply here.

I seriously doubt that this will help as I'm sure that you've explored all possibilities. Just as a long shot, however, here's an image of a post with a list, an attachment, some blank lines, and the code that generated it for me.

Yes, thanks. Just took another swing at it and now I'm replying to you from the MIMO screen. Now, where did I put that copy of WinButtons...

Is there a more aesthetic way to ensure space between lists and images?
-J-Mac (September 13, 2011, 10:04 AM)
I must admit that I don't have that problem.
 
 
The previous two lines have spaces on them, not periods. Will that work for you?
I don't see a code for vtab in the SMF BBC (doesn't mean there isn't one).

I'm assuming that you did close the list.
Another, more tedious option would be to add some transparent space to the top of your image

My MIMO Touch2 arrived here yesterday. So, I hooked it up this morning.

I can see I'm going to have some fun. It blue-screens my new W7 box faster than I can say 'knife'. I know 'cos I was saying "that's not very knife" at the time (or some shorter, pithy words with roughly the same meaning).

No doubt there's a way round it, if not I'll try it on another machine here (though I want it on my main machine where it might actually be useful). Clearly, it's time now to set it aside and play a video game instead  ;D

Watch this space -->  <--     ::)

Investing in a professional who will create business portrait photographs can really pay dividends. If you're busy someone will come to your office. My advice would be not to rely on snapshots, FWIW.

So, today's lesson is: don't by MYMO. (Which I'll have to mention in the Amazon review for this product.)
-nudone (September 06, 2011, 07:32 AM)

That's a useful lesson: I just ordered a 7" MIMO. Was tempted by the larger screens but...

Needless to say, I'm far too busy at the moment to do anything with it (isn't it always the way?) but I may be past that by the time it arrives here.

Dare I hope that you'll make available any Creative Suite templates you might build with WinButtons?

Oh, and @Ath, I shan't be sending one to you  ;D
