Works with Windows 7
nickrusso- Pros
- quick desktop access to volume and mute, especially handy if you have two monitors and watch videos on the other. Fairly easily resizeable.
- Cons
- Hard to grab it and move it around. No color choices, but black goes with everything, right?
- Summary
- Useful gadget, esp. since the version of Volumouse I have doesn't work reliably on Win 7. BTW, you need to have Google desktop installed to use it, it's not a standalone--that's why it's a *.gg. Of course, the "company which will never do anything evil" <LOL> is discontinuing support for google desktop, just like the google Deskbar beta, which was one of the most useful tiny Windows add-ons ever conceived. I used Deskbar right through Vista (ugh), but it won't run on 7.
works with vista
