  US Licensing prevents Skype functionality without workaround

  by LionOfZion7 on January 22, 2007

  Pros: Nice form and tactile response - great idea for VoIP

  Cons: US version does not support Skype without some tinkering (see below)

  Summary: This is due to a licensing issue with Logitech and the US versions of SetPoint.
  To work around this issue, follow these instructions:

  Summary: This is due to a licensing issue with Logitech and the US versions of SetPoint.
  To work around this issue, follow these instructions:
  http://www.mstarmetro.net/~rlowens/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=SetPoint.Skype
  
  I've verified they work on my 32-bit Windows XP.
  
  Quick Summary:
  1) Download the "BR" release of SetPoint from
  http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/GB/EN,CRID=1796,contentid=12524
  or
  ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/mouse/setpoint310_br.exe
  
  2) Rename the .exe file to .zip and open it in your favorite ZIP program (I use 7zip) <--Note: This step
  does not work with WinZip or with XP's built in packaging software
  
  3) Extract the " \3-BedRock" folder and run the uninstall.bat and then run setup.exe file in it to
  install "Logitech Communications Manager".
  
  To check if you installed Skype support, check to see if C:\Program Files\Common Files\Logitech\LComMgr\BRSkypePlugin.dll exists.

  Buggy drivers will mess up your computer

  Summary: I was really excited to get this new keyboard and mouse, as my old Logitech combo had croaked. Unfortunately, as soon as I installed the Setpoint 3.1 software, I got a crackling background sound added to whatever I was listening to through my main speakers. I uninstalled all the Logitech software (including Mouseware), downloaded and installed the latest Setpoint version 3.3. Same problem. Also, both Setpoint installations caused another problem: the window you are working in loses "focus" every few seconds (the title bar dims and it becomes an inactive window, requiring you to reclick within the window to bring the focus back.) The only good thing I can say is that all the basic functions (no arrow keys, no number pad, no special function buttons) of both the keyboard and mouse work even with all the Setpoint tripe removed, so my computer is not completely unusable as I wait for Logitech to fix this. At a minimum I would wait until Logitech releases v.4.0 before buying this.
  One last thing: the speakerphone is bass heavy and treble shy, so it sounds a bit muddy.
