ScrollNavigator does not do it for me on Win7-x64.
Either choppy scrolling or nothing at all.

MouseStar might work better for some of you, but is unfortunately not as straight as mouseimp was, so again no options until now.. o(

Let me add a link to Scroll Navigator: http://www.desksoft.com/ScrollNavigator.htm

If I decide to upgrade to an x64 system, this will be the first thing I’ll use.

Hey guys,

For x64, I found Scroll Navigator. Thing is, it costs money and is not as fluid and smooth as mouse imp pro. Good work aoleg! And thanks for having looked into a port. I guess someone else will have to implement or we just wait for something else to come out. Man, such a great tool.

Supporting x64 would not, unfortunately, be a simple update. A major rewrite is required. I don’t have the required skills to do this. The source code is old, and hardly portable.

I’ll see what I can do for x64. So far it seems that you’d need to run two versions of MouseImp simultaneously; one for 32-bit, and one for 64-bit applications. I don’t have any experience in developing hook DLLs for the 64-bit environment, let alone support 32 and 64 bits in one binary. If someone who does comes along, please email me!

ok, here are the results of running mouseimp in WinXPx64: As expected, it runs in a 32bit process and all other 32bit software is working seamlessly with mouseimp. But, all native 64bit software does not see mouseimp – this is especially annoying for e.g. windows explorer. Any ideas of compiling a 64bit mouseimp? (i will be happy to test it…)

Ohhh, wonderful – this site is not dead yet!!! (smile)
Well, i do not have any vista64 versions at hand, but i am installing windowsxp64 at the weekend. And, of course i will install mouseimp for a test (can’t live without it any more)
The problem i see is, that e.g. explorer is a 64 bit application (using 64 bit dll’s) and mouseimp is (??) 32bits. So the call from a 32bit dll to a 64bit dll (and vice versa) does not work anymore.
WinXp64 has, of course, a WOW64 implementation and there is another explorer (32 bit) which might allow mousimp to run.
Speaking of native 32bit apps running in xp64, well i might think mouseimp must work as expected.
But, the test results will follow after this weekend…
Cheers

> Is this version of MouseImp compatible with the x64 windows’ ?

I don’t know! I don’t have the 64-bit version handy, and can’t test it. If you have Vista64, would you mind installing MouseImp for a quick compatibility test?
