SB 5000 USB with 3dxOffice
After installing the latest 3DxOffice I don't notice any additional available settings in the 3DxWare configuration menu. Did 3DxOffice install correctly or do I need to somehow "enable" it?
I've got a SpaceBall 5000 USB attached to a Dell Precision 670 running Win XP and Office 2003. I'm using 3DxWare Version 3.1.0, Build 11, Firmware Version 3.2. I find the 3DxOffice plugins located at C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Office\Plugins.
Any help will be appreciated! Also, since I don't have admin priviliges, a full list of items to check will allow me to be very productive with one call to my local tech support agent.
Thank you!

Hi BPC23
Unfortunately the MS-Office suite is not any more supported. If you still want to use the 3D mice in MS Office you will have to install the 3DxOffice separately after each update and take the software on an as-is basis. You will find 3DxOffice only in our archive on the driver download page.

I'm not sure I understand when you say "... you will have to install the 3DxOffice separately after each update...".
I have installed the latest 3DxWare software, then installed the latest 3DxOffice. But, after installing 3DxOffice, there is no additional functionality to 3DxWare (or said another way, there is no additional option in the "3DxWare for" pull-down menu of the Spaceball configuration screen). I should expect to see an axis mapping tab for Office products, right?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi BPC23,
The way you installed 3DxOffice is the right one. 3DxOffice doesn't work on a 64 bit system and it was not tested on Vista.
I have an XP system (32 bit with SP 2)) and I installed separately 3DxOffice, it works.
I see in the pull-down list "Microsoft Word - <my> while running Microsoft Word.

Hi BPC23
Did you install 3DxSoftware as an administrator? An 3DxOffice as well?
You could check under "Start -> All Programs -> 3Dconnexion -> " if 3DxOffice is installed. There should be only a readme-file.

Hi BPC23
I have another path, altrough the operating systems seem to be identical (mine is a German version, but in this case it shouldn't be any difference):
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxWare\Office\Plugins
And there I have some files:
Dxo_Default.dll
Dxo_Excel.dll
dxo_explorer.dll
Dxo_Illustrator.dll
Dxo_MSIExplorer.dll
Dxo_OutlookExpress.dll
Dxo_Photoshop.dll
Dxo_Powerpoint.dll
Dxo_Project.dll
Dxo_Word.dll
Do you have those files installed?
