Sidewinder and Intellipoint software.
Hi,
hope someone has an idea of what the problem is here. I recently purchased a Microsoft Sidewinder mouse, http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ga...s.aspx?pid=100 The issue I have is in that when using the generic OS drivers the mouse behaves itself but I lose the functionality of the extra buttons. If I load the intellipoint software from the provided CD OR install the latest drivers from M/S website it starts to really misbehave. What happens is that it will act like I am pressing the two main buttons, this is quite random and it may be just the left button activating or the right and occasionally a mixture of both, if I go into taskmanager and end the intellipoint process the mouse reverts back to its normal good behavior. This has happened on two machines I have, both running Vista and one with a clean install and SP1 installed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. |

I'm having similar issues, although not as severe. In my case, it will work fine, but after approx. 30 minutes the Games Explorer button loses all funtionality, and will not work until reboot. Perhaps we just need to wait for another Intellipoint update? -- YayoX |

In Device Manager, under the USB Controllers, Power Management tab, are they
set to go to sleep (default)? If so, uncheck the box. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "YayoX" wrote in message ... I'm having similar issues, although not as severe.
