Problems with IntelliPoint Compatibility

A bug has been confirmed in environments with IntelliPoint, which is utility software for mouse devices manufactured by Microsoft. When using this tool in DirectX mode, re-rendering the layout window illegally overwrites 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), previous 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 click Compatibility.
