Post subject: Same annoying screen flicker here too!

I have searched the Internet for the past 3 days to see if anyone else is experiencing the same quirk. I installed Intellitype Pro 6.02 software last night to see if the screen flicker would resolve itself.....no way. My Quickbooks software is driving me insane, as are other applications that randomly flicker.

I am using the Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard as well as the Intellimouse 2.0, and I'm kind of sorry I installed the latest software for the keyboard. My old drivers were 5.2 for my mouse and they worked great. I'm ready to roll back but this will disable the features of the annoying keyboard which is ready to be boxed up too! Bad spacebar, very hard to press down, finding words running into one another! Stay away from this hardware.

If anyone finds a solution to the flicker, please post it. I just wrote to Microsoft on this problem and will post back their reply.

Post subject: Fixed it for now...

disabling the ipoint.exe but now my mouse is back to boring! Hope they issue a patch. I told Microsoft techs about doing so today as others are experiencing the screen flicker too.

makes me want to rip out my eyes...sorry for the graphic reply hehe. The
problem is just annoying.

Yep, Intellipoint 6.1 causing a major problem with FormZ in our university
labs. FormZ crashes within seconds of use from just basic cube creation to
any other creation... flicker of the toolbar under the drawing window occurs,
and the program freezes with 100% cpu use. Ending ipoint.exe fixes the
problem...

Hopefully the problem will get fixed on Microsoft's end.

How do I do that? When I click on the "Update" button, nothing happens.
