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!!!

    • it might be a work or school thing. at my work, a disclaimer pops up stating that "you should use google chrome or edge for the best possible experience." at my school, the disclaimer says just to use google chrome. i'm sure a lot of IT guys just want to make it easy and tell employees to use google chrome because of the apparent trends in web developers testing and all. i'm sure that can have big ramifications on browser usage for average users since "if my IT dep permits it, then it's good". i liked that my work also stated Edge, but i've seen "use google chrome" a lot more without mentioning edge. matter of fact, my employer removed firefox from all devices.
    • I happen to try it today not knowing about the update and was happily surprised; it is great.
    • Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store.

    • This is more from my childhood, when nickelodeon just launched and had to license shows to have something to air. Left a big an impact, but probably more emotion positive / childhood thing. Europe got the follow up season's decade's latter with the animation studio that did Air Bender but never licenses for the US. I miss the day's of longer intro's. Nier (PS3) Intro is epic, and was very unexpected.  PS1 Xengears was also epic and an amazing game.
