Running magnifer disrputs display

[MKairys]

Vista Ultimate... When I run the Magnifier program the display goes
nuts: it goes black, restores, blanks, restores, redraws my Sidebar a
couple of times... and finally brings up the magnifier window.

I have a Microsoft Intellimouse with Intellipoint 6.1, and I see the
same effect when turning on the mouse magnifier window.

Any explanation, advice, or at least sympathy?

Vista Ultimate... When I run the Magnifier program the display goes
nuts: it goes black, restores, blanks, restores, redraws my Sidebar a

I have a Microsoft Intellimouse with Intellipoint 6.1, and I see the
same effect when turning on the mouse magnifier window.

Sympathy I can offer - advice, well. . . . not really - sorry. I have a
MS Optical Comfort 3000 mouse with the little magnifier button on the
left hand side, and I used it heaps in XP. Now with Vista I get the
exact same effect as you describe, so I think it's just a shoddily
written driver. I updated the Intellimouse driver to the latest and got
the same effect, so I uninstalled it and reset the mouse as a simple
optical scroll mouse, as which it works fine. I check back periodically
in the hope that they have tidied this up. I know Vista is a whole new
ball game, but it's perhaps a little disappointing in light of the fact
that I'm using a MS mouse with MS drivers on an MS operating system.

Oh, and for the record, my graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1300 with 256
Meg video RAM.

Just keep looking for the update every week or so I guess.

Just keep looking for the update every week or so I guess.

Since it happens with the Magnifier accessory as well I suspect an
IntelliPoint update won't fix it...
I found another comment elsewhere that implies the problem is it has
to turn off Aero and turn it on again (FWIW)
