ipont.exe GROSS memory leak

[Guest e.falkenauer@optimaldesign.com]

Hello,

The nice zoom functionality available with Microsoft's new mice has a

serious problem: the ipont.exe that offers the functionality never

frees the memory allocated for (I suppose) the zoom's bitmap, and

REallocates it each time(!!) the zoom is actioned. On my large screen,

that makes a hefty 14 Megs allocated and never freed by ipoint.exe

EACH TIME I zoom - after a while, Gigs of RAM are consumed, and the

only way to reclaim them is to log out, or kill ipoint.exe from the

Task Manager.

Anybody knows whether Microsoft are fixing this gross memory leak in

ipoint.exe anytime soon?

 

Thanks,

Emanuel

Ok, sorry, apparently mine is IntelliPoint 6.1, while 6.2 released by

MS is supposed to have closed the leaks. Issue (hopefully) settled.
