I hate hate hate intellipoint, among other things it automaticaly clicks on links when it is activate/background. If I shut it down everything work fine with the microsoft sidewinder mouse.

Do you know of any other software I can use in its place?

I have the same mouse, and don't have that problem. However, it has crapped Vista twice which I find humorous to say the least.

I hate this mouse. It's the only mouse ever that causes pain to my hand. The buttons are crap, the two on the side double click whenever they want, the mouse wheel is too hard, the shape is horrible and the software as I said earlier sometimes "clicks" on links on its own, unless I close it/kill it.
Money wasted even more than on the money I spent on the Strategic Commander years ago.
My gods I hate this mouse.
I remember reading somewhere about a piece of software replacing intellipoint, but don't remember any details.

Get a different mouse if you hate it that much.

Nope not one bit, I've owned in two variations of it. I go thru mice like Big Brown goes thru bitches.

Speaking of which.

Decent Deal on Razer DeathAdder @ Circuit City

I rather use stickykeys than any Razer mouse (or razer product).
But thanks for the suggestion.

Now, so I guess no info on that intellipoint?

I wondered if you would sniff this thread out. I use the Habu at work, and their shape is severely comfortable for extended use. That is why I bought two at that price incase one takes a dump.

Well that leaves you basically w/ a few options. What is your budget for a mouse? Seriously it shouldn't be hurting your hand that is a very bad sign. I would suggest you stop using the mouse ASAP.

nec is rt. if mouse is causing u pain, u need to do something about it or u could cause yourself permanent probs.
also, r u shure its not positional - placement/support of arm/wrist. many peeps got that so wrong.
i thought the link thing was a ie setting.

You can try out the MouseHook (freeware) which is a quite good replacement for the Intellipoint by Microsoft.

Here's the link for it:
Mousehook.de


Good luck!

Can you use it to set the dpi of the mouse?

You can set that on the mouse itself, why would you need it in the software?
