Postby gazza » 22.04.2012 20:44:47

i recently had to install windows 7 again on my laptop and after downloading dexpot and installing again i cannot switch windows with my buttons on the side of my mouse, whereas before i could.
my mouse is a plug and play usb mouse so no software with it. please, how can i enable this feature again as i found it very usefull.

Ha. From the changelog for Dexpot 1.5.8: "Desktop switching using the forward/backward mouse buttons didn't work when running Dexpot as admin"

So just download and install the current version from our website and it should work again.
