    Default Broadcasting Clicks Problem

    I'm fairly sure I've got this figured out, but before I do anything drastic I just want to ask for an experienced opinion.

    I have two machines, one Vista (master) and one XP (slave). Everything in Octopus works fine, keys and mouse movement, but I can't transmit clicks. I've already made doubly-sure that the "clicks" box is checked, but my XP machine just won't receive clicks.

    I suspect this is because of the UAC issue in Vista mentioned in the official setup guide? Do I have to install the optional mouse driver packaged with Octopus?

    are you using the click list?
    are the correct modifiers reaching the XP client?
    the UAC issue affects Vista Clients or Server windows if it isn't "run as admin" and the target window is an admin process (my understanding).
    also the broadcast clicks will work without the cursor broadcast, and do it differently, does that work?
    no should be the answer to using the filter with WoW, but may reduce server side latency a little.

    Yup, it was the click list. Thanks for the help! Now I've just got to spend a few hours learning how to control these things
