Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

Finally after several months of flickering and getting ****ed off installing
ipoint 5.5 fixed it and my laser 5000 works.
The 6.1 and 6.2 both were flickering. Bunch of junk.
Here MS is trying to buyout Yahoo when they need to pay their programmers.

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

I hope that you get this message since I'm replying to an old post. When you
installed the 5.0 version did you lose the instant viewer and zoom feature?
I have the same wireless desktop 6000 and I am dealing w/ the same exact
issue. Microsoft really needs to work on their quality control. I had to
uninstall the software completely. I'll try that version 5 and hopefully I
can get the same features.

in
startup & wow! The flickering was gone! No more fast refresh in limewire,
no
more photo flickering in photoshop & no more dragging shadowing. I felt so
relieved! I removed the intellipoint program & downloaded the 5.0 version
again & all is fine again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!


Let me get this straight: v 6.1 CAUSES the flickering?

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering


I've installed intellitype 6.2 w/ the mouse 5.0 software and so far I
haven't had any problems w/ the instant viewer. If I continue to have this
luck, I think the keyboard and mouse software are doing duplicated refreshing
of the previews and that could be causing a conflict. I really like the
instant viewer so hopefully I can keep on using it. If anyone is still
viewing this thread let me know if you're having the same luck.

Hi there,

I just learned that the new Intellipoint Software which was shipped
with my new MS Laser Desktop 6000 causes excessive screen flickering.
It's ipoint.exe in particular.

This seems to originate from the "Window-Viewer" functionality, which
can be assigned to a mousebutton. This Window-Viewer function is taking
screenshots all the time from every program running, to build the
special screen upon them.

Even if the Window-Viewer functionality is not assigned, the problem
keeps existing.

So, this is really really annoying while working with PhotoShop or
other programs - in particular programs, which don't refresh their
screens all the time (TheBat! 2.x for example where the toolbar-buttons
in a message window keep disappearing until I move the window around
again.)

With ipoint.exe running, it's impossible for me to work with PhotoShop.
Selection boxes are vanishing from screen while still dragging the
mouse with every flicker, and so on..

It's happening here on XPSP2 with a Radon9800Pro with Catalyst 6.7.

Anyone else having these problems? Or anyone who knows how I can
eliminate the flickering?

Thanks,
HS

Version 6.2 Doesn't solve this issue too.
Yes, it's absurd that a problem which goes back to 2006 has not been fixed
yet.
Anyway IP 5.5 works fine, even with the lastest mouses which are not listed.

Intellpoint 6.+ is so incompatible with all new Autodesk / Autocad products
that our office going to have to scrap a whole fleet of Microsoft 5 button
mice. This has been going on for a while and still no action. Unreal.

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

I've never installed installed Ver 6.2, yet it says it's on my computer... õ_O

I had a Logitech Keyboard and Mouse formerly and recently replaced it
because it was a piece of crap that even Logitech admits on their website
that it's unstable and stops working and they can't fix the problem...

Well, I purchased a Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 Keyboard/Mouse
combo pack earlier today. I'm trying to install the IntelliPoint Ver 6.2 that
came with it and there's a problem. It's telling me that it's already
installed and that I would need to uninstall the older version before I can
install this new version. Ok, that's all fine and good, but I can't install
what's not really there. In Add/Remove programs, it's listed, but there is NO
option to Uninstall/Remove it. So now what ??

Same problem here Holger. Using the latest Intellipoint software and
the (new) Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 mouse. I found this thread while
researching the problem.

At least now I know it's not some sort of weird display driver
conflict, since I'm using an Nvidia card with it's latest drivers
(93.71).

If I find a solution, I'll post it here. In the meantime, using
MSCONFIG to disable "ipoint.exe" seems to be the only solution that
works.

I wonder if Microsoft is aware of this problem?

And how did you determine that it's the Window-Viewer stuff that's
causing the problem? It sounds reasonable, but I'm curious how you
came to that conclusion.


Its been over a year since I purchased my Microsoft Notebook Laser Mouse
6000 and till now Microsoft haven't been able to come up with a patch for
this issue!

Doing a quick search online, it becomes apparent that this issue have plague
the intellipoint software for as long as it has been around the many
solutions such as the one stated at http://dotdoh.com/?p=233 are only
temporary fixes that kill the intellipoint software.

This is far from an ideal solutions since one of the reason for the purchase
of the more expensive microsoft mouse was the ability to side scroll which is
now disabled due to the lack of the ipoint software

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

After looking at many posts, and finding no resolution, it seems that I may
have found an answer.
I installed Microsoft's (comfort optical 3000) mouse, just as instructed,
prior to plugging in the mouse. When I did this, I got screen flickering,
real bad.

I searched the web, for answers and found none. I then went to the
installation directory [program files/Microsoft intellipoint/Models], and got
rid of all of the other models, EXCEPT for my model.

After trying updates that did nothing for the flicker, and other things,
THIS at least for me, has seemed to totally get rid of the flickering in all
the programs I've run.

I've also noticed in one post, that there is a new version of driver, (6.3)
which I have no apparent need if I have no issues. (my version is v6.2)

I don't know if this will work for other models, but it's one thing that
works for me.

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

Thanks for your input, and I have tried installing this version, with an
error that even though I have a dual core AMD 64 processor, it seems that I
am running under 32 bit mode. My operating system indicates that it is an 86
family of processors.
I let Windows setup, do all the installations, so I have no idea why I don't
seem to be running in 64 bit mode. (not that that will clear my flickering
problem), just another "glitch".
I did update to intellipoint v.6.0, with no change in the flickering.

You're only in 64 bit mode if your OS is a 64 bit OS.

Even though your CPU is capable of running in 64 bit, if it is running a 32
bit OS, then you should be using the 32 bit version of
Intellipoint/Intellitype Pro.

Default Intellipoint Software 5.5 causes screen flickering

As I mentioned, the 64 bit intellipoint software won't install, so I AM
running the latest version of mouse driver in 32 bit mode, which is where
I've had this flickering problem.
ps. that was a fast response; thanks

Even though your CPU is capable of running in 64 bit, if it is running a 32
bit OS, then you should be using the 32 bit version of
Intellipoint/Intellitype Pro.

Thanks for your input, and I have tried installing this version, with an
error that even though I have a dual core AMD 64 processor, it seems that
I
am running under 32 bit mode. My operating system indicates that it is an
86
family of processors.
I let Windows setup, do all the installations, so I have no idea why I
don't
seem to be running in 64 bit mode. (not that that will clear my flickering
problem), just another "glitch".
I did update to intellipoint v.6.0, with no change in the flickering.

Also ensure that you've installed the latest video card driver for your

Hi there,

I just learned that the new Intellipoint Software which was shipped
with my new MS Laser Desktop 6000 causes excessive screen flickering.
It's ipoint.exe in particular.

This seems to originate from the "Window-Viewer" functionality, which
can be assigned to a mousebutton. This Window-Viewer function is
taking
screenshots all the time from every program running, to build the
special screen upon them.

Even if the Window-Viewer functionality is not assigned, the problem
keeps existing.

So, this is really really annoying while working with PhotoShop or
other programs - in particular programs, which don't refresh their
screens all the time (TheBat! 2.x for example where the
toolbar-buttons
in a message window keep disappearing until I move the window around
again.)

With ipoint.exe running, it's impossible for me to work with
PhotoShop.
Selection boxes are vanishing from screen while still dragging the
mouse with every flicker, and so on..

It's happening here on XPSP2 with a Radon9800Pro with Catalyst 6.7.

Anyone else having these problems? Or anyone who knows how I can
eliminate the flickering?

Same problem here Holger. Using the latest Intellipoint software and
the (new) Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 mouse. I found this thread while
researching the problem.

At least now I know it's not some sort of weird display driver
conflict, since I'm using an Nvidia card with it's latest drivers
(93.71).

If I find a solution, I'll post it here. In the meantime, using
MSCONFIG to disable "ipoint.exe" seems to be the only solution that
works.

The 64 bit version won't install if you aren't running a 64 bit OS.
What OS are you running. It sounds like a 32 bit OS (which a 64 bit capable
chip is perfectly capable of running).
