For what it is worth as perspective, when I installed Intellipoint 5.5 the first time, I just installed it over version 5.2. When I later deleted it through the control panel, I found there were two...

Although it is hard to say for sure, because we have been dealing with occasional behavior, I have had no more problems with MA2.0 over the past 24 hours. It seems reasonable to think we may have the...

Done - for me this was already version 5.5, but I had installed it on top of 5.2, so I uninstalled from the control panel and then deleted all files from Program Files.
Did this as instructed.

Yes, I'm using Intellipoint 5.5. I updated from version 5.2 during these tests, and as I said a few posts ago, MA stopped exiting with a mouse move when the Exit with Mouse Move box was unchecked...

After silently watching today's exchanges, I thought I would register my own opinion about how I see this. It is frustrating indeed to have an application close when a screen saver exits. But for me,...

I am the source (or at least a source) of the information that I could exit MA with a mouse move even when the box allowing that is unchecked. That was true for me until I updated the Intellipoint...

I didn't get to start the real test until last night. I'll run Sharks over the weekend and report what I learn. If I have an incident where exiting causes an application to close, I'll report that...

I installed Sharks and Goldfish. Don't care for Goldfish, so I'm testing with Sharks. No problems yet, but it will take time to be sure.

Is there any reason to believe the nag screen that comes up...

I haven't dropped out here. Over the past 24 hours I've thought that I had no more problems after updating my video and mouse drivers, but I am now fairly sure I've had two times out of dozens where...

3D Screen Saver

The screen saver file I just found at Microsoft is called 3DWindowsXP.exe. It is supposed to show off DirectX capabilities. It did not come with XP, at least for me. I assume, since DirectX seems to...

I installed Intellipoint 5.5 drivers (up from 5.2) and the screensaver no longer exits with a mouse move when the "Exit with Mouse Move" box is unchecked. It's too soon to tell if the top application...

I don't quite understand what kind of mouse driver utilities you are asking about, but if it is a key to know that I can exit with a mouse move when that box is unchecked, perhaps it is also of use...

I think what I did was change the video drivers, though. Isn't that what feldon29 suggested I do? Download updated video drivers from Intel and install them?

This version does not fix this problem on my machine. A mouse move causes the top application to close spontaneously. If no application is active, it presents the XP shutdown screen.

Do you know what these screen savers do that the Windows-supplied ones don't do?
