This has happened three times now, and I'm pretty sure that somehow Poser 6 is doing it, or maybe it's some kind of incompatability with my mouse drivers, but it affects my keyboard too, and seems to semi-crash Poser at the same time. I'll be working on a scene with alot of stuff in it and suddenly my mouse won't "let go" of the camera control, like the button is sticking - but it's not. I have to left-click several times to unstick it, and after that, all is FUBAR'd... My mouse is a Logitech cordless Laser mouse, MX 1000, and it has 3 extra buttons on the side, one which I have programmed to Shift+Ctrl+F (restore figure), ont to Ctrl+M (main Camera), and one for Ctrl+A (restore all). After the weirdness begins, those buttons no longer do anything, and their keyboard equivalents just do...whatever..it's random what happens, and I have to close Poser down. But it doesn't end there, because unless I reboot, my keyboard shortcuts don't work in anything else at all. I can type and use any of the other butons like My Computer, etc, but no keyboard shortcut assignments whatsoever. It's got to be something happening with Poser causing this, as I don't get anything at all like this with any other programs. Win XP SP2 with all the latest Microslop updates. I'm just curious if anyone else has seen anything like this and maybe has a simple answer like, Oh yeah, you have to edit the Poser INI line 245 where it says "screw with my mouse and keyboard" change it to "leave my HID alone..."
