Problems with IntelliPoint Compatibility

A bug has been confirmed in environments with installed IntelliPoint, which is utility software for mouse devices manufactured by Microsoft. When using this tool in DirectX mode, re-rendering the layout window will illegally overwrite menus and windows.

The following methods have been confirmed to be effective in working around this problem.

  1. Downgrade IntelliPoint to a version lower than 5.5.
  2. Run IntelliPoint in Windows 2000 Compatibility Mode.

For (1), old versions of IntelliPoint can be downloaded from Microsoft's website. (Install a version before the Instant Viewer feature was implemented.)
To configure (2), right-click on the iPoint.exe executable file, click Properties and then Compatibility.
