Re: Microsoft Security Bulletin Revisions Thanks for the suggestion Charles. The mouse/cursor was fine till the patches were applied. Patch 891711 "modifying the way that cursors, animated cursor, and icon formats are validated prior to rendering". So it wouldn't surprise me if there was a connection.
I am considering reinstalling MS Intellimouse drivers after exhausting all other possibilities. I want to know what happened. Problem(s) is not registry based. So I'm hoping that it's not a shell problem. I've not detected any corrupt files after several SFC full C:\ drive scans, just the file changes detailed above.
Evidently this situation has not manifest itself elsewhere on other people's boxes. That's good news!

Evidently this situation has not manifest itself elsewhere on other people's boxes. That's good news! My system uses Intellimouse 4.1 and the updates seem not to have interfered at all there. But I too wonder if you experienced some sort of corruption of the mouse software during patch install. I'm not sure how much (if any) of the mouse files would be brought back in your system restores, though obviously a full partition image-restore would recover things. So you might try an uninstall/reinstall of the Intellimouse software. I've done some heavy Googling, and so far, nobody else who patched has reported any real problems, let alone your specific mouse problem. The implication is that something got trashed on your system around the time of the install beyond the patches themselves, unique to your particular configuration.

kudos:2 | Yep. I concur. It's a bit strange that system file checker shows no corrupt files. Or maybe I should be happy about that. So drivers themselves are probably not the culprit. Perhaps an interface somewhere is.
I now believe that something extraordinary occurred during my particular install (perhaps a download/connection hiccup) that is most likely not MS related.
In any event I'll run like this for another day, then try a mouse software reinstall.
In a total perspective, it's not a disaster. I'll deal with it. More poking and experimenting ahead. |
