273224 2004-09-17 09:44:00 I have Windows XP Pro (used most of the time), Windows ME (used for some progs which won't run on XP), & Windows 98SE because I use the DOS.

The 98 is fine in Dos but in Windows the cursor twitches all the time & sometimes scrolls on its own. It doesn't crash & is quite stable, but twitches all the time.
I have reinstalled it from another CD but no difference. The drivers are from the MB CD.
Both the ME & XP have no problems.
The CPU is Celeron 1.7 and there is 530 meg Ram.
If I could get it to work properly I could eliminate the ME, giving me more space.

I have 98se/2k,pro/xp . pro, I have an Intelli point Trackball mouse .

I had/have a simular issue, I updated the mouse software to ver4 . 1 and it got a lot better .

The intelli point update for win 98se and for xp are different, I only updated 98se not the others .

Once on mocrosoft office update, I saw a "Patch" for this (and related) issue specifically for 98, I could never find it again .

You understad driver ovewrites with this setup?

If you are using shadow tails/trails on the mouse pointer, dont . It agravates the situation .

You probably have to reinstall the older mouse drivers, in 98se and not let the other O/s upgrade them again, or something along those lines .

Hopefully you will get a super tech with a definate fix, I know how annoying this can be .
