IntelliMouse Explorer scrolls on it's own.

[Down8 0]

I'm not sure if this is exactly a hardware problem, or a software problem, but it tweaks me off just the same.

 

I've been using a $10 Compaq branded Logitech MouseMan [4-buttons] for a long time now, and on occasion, it will continue to scroll, even after I release the middle button in I.E. I haven't noticed this in any other apps.

 

Now, I had always attributed this to my mouse being rebranded by Compaq, and something getting fscked in the process. But, I purchased a MS IntelliMouse Explorer yesterday, and today, I'm getting the same 'scroll-until-it-feels-like-stopping' effect with this mouse.

 

Anyone have any ideas what the hell is going on?

 

This is the '"33% faster", 2000 samples/sec.' one, on the PS/2 port [uSB isn't working for some reason - will work on that later], with IntelliPoint 3.2 drivers from the included disk. Win2K Pro [had server on w/ same problems w/ Logitech], Soyo 7VCA.

Download DirectX8 Control Panel from The- Ctrl-Alt-Del site and remove debug modes. Update Graphics Adapter to the latest driver.

 

If the problem persists, give us specifics on harware and software (specially graphics).

OK, trying the Ctr-Alt-Del stuff now.

 

For reference, my system includes:

PIII 500E@700 [140FSB] on the 7VCA;

258MB RAM [128xPC100 & 128xPC133]

StealthIII S540 [with latests drivers, damn S3];

using the onboard sound [Acoustic Edge is on the way];

IE 5.5, SP1;

um.. what else would be relevant...

Adaptec SCSI, Office 2K, tons of other apps.

Some tips about mouse problems.

 

A) Average pointer speed recovers accuracy:

Choice of the 3Dmouse pointer 3Dgarro.cur prevents a second mouse cursor in 3D games.

 

C) Disable Pointer shadow, Mouse trails and Snap to. They are knowen to create problems.

 

D) Run regedit and first export a copy of the complete registry.

 

Check if you find "Lkbdflt2" on the line:

 

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}:

UpperFilters:REG_MULTI_SZ: kbdclass

 

Check if you find Lmouflt2 on the line:

 

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96F-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}:

UpperFilters:REG_MULTI_SZ: mouclass

 

Those two drivers are Logitech software filter drivers and should not be there. Do nothing now that would not solve anything.

 

Check if you find "IPFilter.sys" on the line:

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt] "UpperFilters"="System32\\Drivers\\IPFilter.sys"

 

Check if this file is present in the folder C:\WINNT\system32\drivers

 

Finally check if the following line is in the registry:

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msi8042prt]

 

Those are the Intellipoint drivers.
