Hello.

First time I set up the right side button to 'magnify' on this MS Laser
Mouse 6000 in Vista 64 bit, clicking it would cause the entire display to
flash on and off a couple times before teh magnifier. Very disturbing.

Recently had to do a new install, and it now works perfectly.

Today I upgraded another computer to Vista 32 bit, and it exhibits the same
problem (display black, then flashes on, then black again, then it works).
Updating the driver didn't help.

This same mouse works fine in this regard on all XP machines.

Anyone know how to make it settle down?

Thank you.
 
Thank you, Bender. That did the trick.

But I do like Aero. Any idea why this seems to be intermittent (even on the
same machine), and if there's a fix?
 
Known issue, documented in the Help:
Note
In Windows Vista, the screen might flicker when you turn the Magnifier on
and off. In some graphics programs, such as Photo Gallery, images may not
display in the Magnifier window.

No fix at this time.

Additionally, once the Magnifier is turned on, it is very difficult to
turn the damn thing off.
