Intellipoint help please?

[Guest XS11E]

I have Vista Ultimate 64 with MSFT's Intellimouse Explorer 4.0a mouse

and Intellipoint software 6.20.182.0

 

When I turn off my PC I usually lose the pointer speed setting and find

it's been reset to the middle postition which is faster than I want.

 

Anyone know of a similar problem or, better yet, a fix?

 

FWIW, all the other setting seem to stay the same, scrolling speed,

button assignments, etc. haven't changed.

Hi,

This is what I would do.

- Uninstall Intellipoint 6.2 software

- Reboot and let Vista "see" the mouse as a generic one

- Reinstall Intellipoint 6.2 software

There is no harm in trying that.

Best of luck.

Well, it can't hurt, I'll give it a shot! Thanks for the suggestion.

 

I tried something a bit different, I removed Intellipoint, rebooted,

opened up the mouse in control panel and set the pointer options as I

wanted them, then I installed IP. We'll see if that helps any.

Booted up the computer this AM and found the settings back to default

again so the above didn't help.

 

I give up on this because I've had a couple of other nagging problems

that seem to be growing and I'm thinking something needs to be

addressed. I've got a replacement DVD burner coming next week so I

think I'll install it and then do a fresh install of Vista and I'm

thinking of installing Ultimate 32 bit. I can't think of any good

reason to keep the 64 bit version and it does cause a problem or two

with some software....

 

I have the weekend to think about it more but any advice is welcome.

Can we help you with those "one or two" programs that are causing you problems?

64-bit is the way to go.

32-bit is the past.

Re: New Question, was: Intellipoint help please?

 

I'm with Carlos on this - yes, you can go to 32-bit. But the future is

64-bit, so let's solve the problems. Also, just a gentle reminder that if

you want to run >3 GB of RAM, your only real option is 64-bit. (Yes, I know,

it's officially 4 GB, but there's no real way to access all of it, so why

spend the $$ on RAM that's hidden.)

No, unfortunately, unless you're CEO of Motorola and influential in

several other companies....

 

From Motorola:

"NOTE: Motorola Software Update works only with the following operating

systems:

Microsoft Windows 2000 (with Service Pack 4)

Windows XP (with Service Pack 2)

Windows Vista (32-bit)"

 

There's more.

 

BTW, remember, I've been here about as long as you have (since the

first beta of Longhorn, IIRC) and have straightened out dozens of

problems but there are some that can't be solved, software that's not

been updated and apparently never will be but w/o which I won't run a

PC such as IEPrivacyKeeper.

 

I may very well drop back to XP, everything works there. Sometimes you

need to know when you're whipped and after this many years it may be

time to admit defeat.... I'm too old and cranky to fool with these

things anymore, I just want a PC that works w/o having to turn off UAC,

w/o having to "run as administrator", w/o having to run in

compatibility mode (which never works!)

Of course, if you run XP, you're running without UAC, as administrator, all

the time. With all the risks that entails. But it's certainly your choice,

and I respect it, even if I don't agree. You've been a positive and

contributing member of this newsgroup practically from the beginning, so

And he might as well dual-boot XP and Vista x64 while the latter is mature

enough for him.

I wonder what Motorola program is he having problems with?

Motorola phone tools works in Vista x64 with the proper x64 drivers

I'm running w/o UAC now, IEPrivacyKeeper requires it be off because

it has never been updated for Vista, the last update was 2005.

IEPrivacyKeeper deleted cookies and Vista hides them in a folder named

Cookies/Low and, so far, I've been unable to do anything to fix that.

If I turn off UAC I can delete the Low folder and the cookie will then

be stored in Cookies so.... UAC is off.

 

There's a bunch of software that does essentially the same thing but

nothing that works as well or is as easy to use!

Thanks, I'm sure I will. BTW, you said "positive" AND "contributing"

so do I owe you double the usual $10??? <BSEG>

Price has gone up (Fuel Surchage.<G>) Single positive is now $10 + a $5

Surchage. With the upsell to "contributing member", you are talking $30,

plus GST and PST, of course. (Or, for EU members, we'll substitute VAT -

it's at least as onerous.<G>)

Yes, but they won't update it. It requires a 32 bit OS.

The new price is only good if you give S&H Green Stamps (Google them if

your just a kid!)

 

Posted from Windows XP Media Center Edition with Intellipoint working

perfectly!

Re: New Question, was: Intellipoint help please?

 

Nosy, as allways, I must ask - is it known how much memory goes into that

'hole'? I mean, with 4GB of RAM it [may] be a minor loss, since the exact

same information, after it is remapped, is sitting somewhere else. However,

since the system becomes aware of 'some' extra memory it [may] seem as

though you've gained a substantial amount?

 

If the PCI memory adress space contains a mere 256 Bytes (or something of

the order) the 'remapping', of course, instantly becomes much more

important.

 

With the current prices on memory, I confess, I am tempted to upgrade even

though I may not really need it, but it should be a good thing anyhow,

depending on the level of waste that it carries.

 

 

Tony. . .
