Where do you see Intellitype Pro version being updated? As far as I can
tell, it is still at version 6.1

Jason, maybe I'm wrong but I cannot find it on Microsoft's website but here's
the link where I did find it:

http://filehippo.com/download_intellitype/

Tell me if this is correct but according to that site, this was released on
Oct 2d by MS. Can't figure out why I cannot find it any longer on their
website. Oh, well....

PS: I'm still flickering away! I think I'm getting used to it. That's
scary.

Yes, that's the version I downloaded for my keyboard.

I just wish MS would have corrected the flickering with their latest update.
They are so well aware of the problem and yet it still exists, at least for
me.

Perhaps you need to consider the flickering is caused by the particular
video drivers you are using? If it was very wide spread then they would
have seen it in testing. Try reducing "hardware acceleration" on your
Display Settings. You will find it in Advanced button, Troubleshooting Tab.

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering


I was directed to change the intellipoint driver to version 5.0
first remove intellipoint 6.0 then install version 5.0
it is on the MS site if you do not have an earlier CD
it should install point32.exe instead of ipoint.exe

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

This was bugging me for a couple of weeks - the flickering & shuddering was
most noticeable in all Adobe applications, but was also present in my Audio
applications. It essentially made a £2,900 system running over £40,000 worth
of software cloose to unusable.
Uninstalling Intellipoint 6.1 cured the issue, bt of course I lost all
additional button functionality. As I used to have CTRL set to Second Left &
ALT to Second Right, loss of usefulness makes this bug joke.

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

Same for me. I have a Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 and it requires
6.0 to operate so I can't even go down to 5.5. I have a HP NC6120 laptop
with XP Pro SP2 with all the latest HP drivers. I get flickering with
Cisco's ASDM gui ASA firewall manager.

I run AutoHotkey and have a script to toggle IPoint.exe on/off (kill and
run) tied to Ctrl-Alt-m.

Below is the script I grabbed off the net if anyone is interested:


Hotkey, ^!m, ToggleIpoint

ToggleIpoint:
Process, wait, ipoint.exe, 1
NewPID = %ErrorLevel% ; Save the value immediately since ErrorLevel is
often changed.
if NewPID = 0
{
run, C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliPoint\ipoint.exe
Msgbox ,262192,Microsoft Mouse,Ipoint.exe ON, 2
return
}
; Otherwise:

Process, priority, %NewPID%, Low
Process, priority, , High ; Have the script set itself to high priority.
Run, taskkill /F /IM %NewPID%,,hide
Msgbox ,262208,Microsoft Mouse,Ipoint.exe OFF, 2
Process, WaitClose, %NewPID%, 3
if ErrorLevel ; The PID still exists.
MsgBox Microsoft Ipoint Mouse Program did not close
return

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

I've got the same problem with the newest version of the Intellipoint
software. I'm using Windows XP. I've noticed a short flickering after
switching back to the program using the taskbar in several programs e.g.
WinRAR...
Now I will uninstall the Intellipoint Software and waiting for a bugfix.

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

Matt,

I had the same issue with IntelliPoint 6.xx

I unistalled that, and reverted back to 5.5.

This seems to have cleared up the flicker issues I was having in Photoshop
and AutoCAD.

It may be worth a try for you to revert back to 5.5.

It seems to have the same features as 6.xx (at least it still supporst my
Wireless 6000 mouse.)
