GeForce4mx and Logitech Optical Wireless Mouse Problems

I'm seeing some very strange behavior after installing an nVidia
graphics card. I have seen these problems on 2 different machines, so
let me give you the common stats between them, then I'll get to the
problem.

- OS: Windows 2000 (unknown service pack levels)
- nVidia Graphics card (GeForce4Mx) (all updated drivers installed)
- Logitech Cordless Optical Mice (pretty much no drivers, just letting
windows control it)
- IE6
- DualMonitor setup with 17" LCD monitors

The motherboards, memory, cpu... are all different.

The problem:
After installing the new card and all the drivers and config
utilities, IE and Explorer start to behave very strangely when you
start using the mouse's scroll wheel. Scrolling up, fast or slow, and
then doing _anything_ else with the mouse, even after a minute of
waiting, will cause whatever page you are viewing to reload.
Scrolling down, then up again (a common task that I do often) causes
the browser to go back a page, and causes explorer to do something
else kinda random.

This has been tested for a couple of days and I'm no closer to finding
an answer. Nearing the point where I will delete the nVidia drivers
and return the card.

Thanks,
Ryan

Put the Logitech drivers for the mouse on.

Have you tried moving the reciever to another position? or changing transmit
channel of the mouse? could be picking up interference.

I have one here on a second machine and it will not work consistantly unless
it is at least 4ft away from my main machine yet the one on the main machine
will work near anything.

I had similar problems...

After installing or reinstalling video, my mx700 started misbehaving...
Solved only by uninstalling both video and mouse drivers, - reinstalling video first, then
mouse drivers...

Make sure the mouse base is situated away from anything electronic and I've noticed that
it helps if you DON'T drop your car keys or pocket change in front of it on the desk!....
Funny, even my tobacco tin causes interference...
I've also noticed that the mouse only works well, on channel 1. Sometimes it switches to
channel 2 (boots up on channel 2) and then every 10 seconds or so, it pauses for a
second... It's like channel 2 is somehow sharing interrupts with the hardware polling or
something...
