Using Nulooq navigator on Windows 7


If you're a photographer using the Logitech Nulooq navigator, you may have difficulty getting you custom settings to work on a Windows 7 32-bit installation. I still use Adobe Photoshop CS3 on my Windows computer at home. I use the Nulooq to quickly change my brush size in Photoshop. It saves reaching across the entire keyboard with my left hand to use Adobe's default shortcut keys. Note that the Nulooq still works fine on my Mac at work using Adobe Photoshop CS4.

To use your custom settings on a Windows 7 installation, change the Properties for C:\Program Files\Logitech\NuLOOQ navigator\NuLOOQCore.exe and C:\Program Files\Logitech\NuLOOQ navigator\NuLOOQHelper.exe in the security tab for the user so that the user has full control of the system for this application.

You may also want to change settings in the compatibility tab to Run in Windows XP Pro SP3 and change the privilege level to run program as administrator.

I believe you'll need to restart your computer for the settings changes to take hold.

Of the changes I've recommended, I believe the user settings are probably the most important. If you're unable to use your custom settings, change the second set of settings.

What I noticed after a normal installation of the Nulooq is that the jog wheel does work in Photoshop, but the custom tool tuner settings won't take affect. The changes I've recommended made these custom setting for the Nulooq work successfully on my computer.
