Intellipoint 4.01 problems


Recommended Posts

You say the problem continues after uninstalling so it would be wise to check your pyshical cables and if you are using an Optical mouse then you should check that there is no fluff or hairs in front of the laser as this can cause "locks" and erratic movement.

If that fails and you are using USB you might want to change the actual socket it's plugged into.

If all this fails then it might be an OS problem so if you haven't disabled System Restore load it up and restore to a point before the problems started.

hey man...

get yourself an old serial/ps2 mouse. totally remove your MS mouse and start your machine up with a new/old style mouse. make sure all the drivers/software are out of your machine with the old mouse attached.

reboot a few times, and make sure ONE of those reboots is in safe mode.

after 3-4 reboots, plug that USB mouse back in and reinstall your ORIG. drivers, and you'll be good to go.

hehehe - I've had no problems with it at all :rambo: with the mouse you should of had a USB to PS2 convertor jack, try that. if everything fails, uninstall all the mouse drivers from the "Add Remove Programs Menu", reboot, and see if the plug 'n' play usb picked it up.

If this fails, then maybe it's your mouse physically with a problem.

Can you please explain why do you need to reboot a few time and have to reboot into safemode? Rebooting once with PS2 mouse attached should make Windows forgets about Intelli Mouse and use PS2 driver (I hope), what's the point in rebooting into safemode? :s

heres why you want to reboot into safe mode.

when you boot up your computer, windows logs everything that it does on a correct bootup. if you have no hardware/software changes, it will boot exactly the same way it did last time. if you take it up in safemode however, it loads no drivers, firmware, or many startup stuff. on the next boot, it then creates a new, good log for the next few boots. also, windows can repair itself as it boots up into safe more...ive seen this more than a few times.

I have done a re-install of my OS (it needed it anyways...) and still have the problem. I figured out what it is, and it that the red LED on the underside of the mouse keeps going out and wont come back on until i lift the mouse up, and put back down. I SWEAR TO GOD that the 4.01 drivers did SOMETHING to my computer!!!

    • Microsoft shares Defender anti-virus update for new Windows 11/10 ISOs by Sayan Sen Following the one for Lumma last month, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this month. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0 was released this past week adds threat detections for various backdoor exploits, trojans, among others. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.431.155.0 at the time of writing.
