View Full Version : Two input devices with Windows ME?

Back in the days of Win 95, I had a Logitech mouse and a Wacom tablet, and to go from one to the other I had two choices: either change drivers and reboot, or install a device called Y-Mouse, which translated the signals from one device to the other. I chose to use the tablet as the "master" in this arrangement, so the mouse signals were translated to tablet signals, but this meant that I had to give up all the mouse configuration options and use it as a generic MS mouse.

I'd like to start using the tablet again, but I would like to have full mouse functionality also, without rebooting. I'm running Windows ME now. Does anyone know if it can accept both kinds of input without anything having to be switched, rebooted, or translated?

(And if so, how, of course. Thanks.)

Normally there shouldn't be a problem. Just connect the two devices and they should run.
At least I haven't had problems with more than 1 mice, joysticks, keyboards, mouse+touchpad etc.
So it should work with mouse+tablet also.
