Default 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?

In Device Manager, under the USB Controllers, Power Management tab, are they
set to go to sleep (default)? If so, uncheck the box.
