Hi
I am making a program for my mouse driver on a console in vb.net. I have the driver extracting from the program and into where it needs to go. But what i found out was that in order for the changes to take place the driver has to be disabled and then re-enabled. I found this out by going into control panel and disabling the driver then re-enabling it again. Then the mouse worked. So is there a way i can do what i did in control panel on a vb.net app??

Thanks

I think you're wasting your time. What are you doing that is screwing up the mouse that you have to disable the driver and reenable it?

Wouldn't your efforts be better used fixing the problem instead of working around it?

i already tried that, i downloaded the driver from the company and that didn't work on the next start-up. So i re-downloaded the driver on my program and then disabled the driver then re-enabled it. And then it worked.

"I re-downloaded the driver on my program" means absolutely nothing. It makes no sense at all.

It sounds like you have a really crappy mouse.

This is the mouse i have: http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/rat3.htm
I'm running windows 8 Pro X64
The reason why im doing this is because the driver the company gave me doesn't work properly. what i mean by "re-downloaded the driver" is i got the driver files and i downloaded them using my program that i made myself. When i used the program the company gave me it only works until your computer shuts down. The mouse works, but it goes really slow, the speed when i start up my computer is around 500DPI, i usually have it and by default it 3500DPI. In order to have the mouse go back to 3500DPI on start up, im trying to make a program that installs or updates the driver and reloads the mouse driver.

There your troubleshooting path should be CyborgGaming tech support, not a hack app.
