Potential buyer - power user; specific intended usage

This is the place for comments, criticisms and even the occasional compliment related to the SmartNav drivers and profiler. Also the place to discuss and review support issues.

After speaking with our primary developer about the VM issue, we have come to the conclusion that VMs and cursor gravity are probably not going to happen. VMs by nature treat the window they are displayed in as a monitor, and thus do not react the same way as a normal window. It would require significant infrastructure changes on the part of the remote desktop software to change that.

As to your .net application, does it react that way when it is moused over by a hardware mouse?

No, the application and other .net applications work fine when a regular mouse moves over them. Issue is only present strictly when controlling with smartnav.

I can live without gravity on the VM, I am learning to work around it. Since "key activated" still works, I can still control quite well. Not as lucky with Logmein - don't know if you'd have any tips for me there? My key remains activated if I drift into a logmein window, so letting go doesn't stop my cursor.

Unfortunately we can't do anything about Logmein. When you're viewing a computer through logmein, the field of view for the RDP window acts as sort of a black hole for input. Anything in there immediately gets sucked into the other machine.
