Re: Microsoft Security Bulletin Revisions Last night:
Performed byte->byte check - installed Intellipoint software vs. backup. Perfect.
This morning (to insure valid software/registry entries):
Uninstalled Intellipoint. Deleted all files/folders. Dry cleaned, pressed, ironed registry.  Reinstalled Intellipoint from direct MS DL.
Mouse now under control. Was using medium acceleration, now using none. Could MS patches have somehow altered system mouse acceleration sensitivity? Browsing stable with FF & IE. Can open separately or concurrently, and browse using both simultaneously, as before. Box no longer freezes (so far).
So it seems as if something related to mouse/system interaction was affected during patching process. What? He's on second but I don't know exactly. Cleaning then reinstalling mouseware appears to have improved the situation.
Going to wait a couple more days then try patching again. Or will I?
Another mystery of life. Thanks for all of your help. |

Burlington, ON | Hi,
I experienced the same issue with 2 computers running W98SE. They were BSOD as they tried to draw the icons on startup. Once I uninstalled KB891711 they started without a problem. I didn't reinstall Intellipoint and they seem to run without a problem. Funny thing is that I installed said patch on a third W98SE box without any BSOD so far. Will wait and see before reapplying this patch. |

| Hmmph.  Win98 systems. Intellipoint software installed on each. KB891711 patches applied. Some systems stay fine, some cough up BSODs, some glitch the mouse operation, some just hang... it gives new meaning to "your mileage may vary." And so much for the theory of the absolute repeatability of digital technology.

That's why MS released patches for it. |
