. but it is no worse than it was, and may even be marginally better.

I remember seeing a post in the MS Vista General newsgroup aways back which told of a new Intellipoint 7.1 driver. So, today, I installed it and waited a while. All good, so onto the next step and install nVidia 197.13.

Before the reboot, Pageflakes was unusable as were the new Microsoft Forum web pages. After a reboot, my mouse cursor has stopped jumping around from time to time, and is now perfectly stable (at the time of writing).

Should I stick my neck out and blame previous woes on a less than perfect mouse driver? I could but I won’t. There is plenty of time for things to go awry again. If it is ok this time next week, I might have a mini celebration..
