Or moving to an earlier version of Intellipoint, 5.0 works fine and
fixed it for me.

I have to disagree, they would fix it if they could, it's obvious that
they can't but the individual users CAN fix it, you need to try each of
the above fixes, one at a time, and see which works on your machine.

I have tried each one of the suggested fixes with no joy.

It is strange that none of my other programs exhibit the problems that
Quicken does.

You would think if you have a Video problem that PhotoShop would be the one
affected.
