Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 Driver Problems

[Guest Chad]

Has anyone experienced issues with the 64-bit driver for the Wireless

Intellimouse Explorer 2.0? When connecting the mouse through a USB to P/S2

adapter, the mouse behaves erradictly. The cursor jumps ramdonly and the

functions assigned to the thumb buttons spontaneously activate. After

plugging mouse directly into USB socket, mouse performs normally.

I don't use an Intellimouse, but it sounds like the USB to PS2 adapter is

the problem more than anything else. That wouldn't surprise me - they're not

all that great in most cases. I'd just switch to using USB, and if you

really don't have a spare USB socket, just add a USB hub.

Re: Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 Driver Problems

 

I have used the same mouse and adapter for over two years without a problem,

to include XP Pro and Vista 32-bit. The problem started after upgrading to

Vista 64-bit and using the most recent 64-bit drivers (6.2) from Microsoft.

I have also switched out the mouse with an identical and re-sync'ed with the

wireless base and the problem still exists. The problem is most likely from

the drivers.

well, in either case, if it works from a USB port, and doesn't with the

adapter, then use the USB port.

 

I have personally become far less sanguine about assuming that it isn't

hardware. But I've also become pragmatic. If it works one way, and doesn't

the other? I use the way that works. If and when there are new drivers, and

you want to try them? fine. But in the mean time, we haven't seen any

reports here of IntelliMirror being any worse than it always has been.

Re: Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 Driver Problems

 

After looking through this discussion, this problem is widespread and seems

to have to do with wireless or optical, which I have, mouse. I see it very

well in PSPX & in MS Office. What it looks like to me is that the mouse

pointer is offcenter. You point at something to click and the click goes to

what ever is above or below or next to what you are clicking. I'm going to go

back to regular mouse and see what happens. This is probably one of those big

little problems that nobody is to concerned about.
