| | Intellipoint 6.1 bug fiasco Hi, Microsoft Intellipoint 6.1 software has a bug that causes the screen to flicker in certain applications. My question is why haven't Microsoft done anything about this. It's been out since feb 2007. As a Vista user I have no alternative other than to use it but I am not happy. |

| | Re: Intellipoint 6.1 bug fiasco It is not the video or sound drivers. Intellipoint 6.+ is so incompatible with all new Autocad / Autodesk products that our office is going to have to scrap a fleet of new microsoft 5 button mice. This has been a problem for a while. I have tried a few different ways to contact somebody about this. Bottom line is, unless I'm willing to start with a 35$ charge on my credit card (to get a tech to start caring) I think I am just scrood. Kaching.
