SUMMARY
Microsoft has released an update of the Point32.exe and Point32.dll files to correct problems with the previous versions.

NOTE: Version 1.1 or later of the Microsoft IntelliPoint software must be installed on your computer before you can install this update.

The Point32 drivers have been modified to address known problems with the SnapTo and PointerWrap features that were causing general protection faults in some 16-bit applications. Changes have also been added to correct known problems when interacting with some third party software programs.

If you are running version 1.0 of the Microsoft IntelliPoint software, contact the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561 to obtain version 1.1 of the IntelliPoint software before you download this update.

Make sure that you have your product identification (PID) number ready when you call. Please see the "More Information" section of this article for instructions on how to find your PID.

If your IntelliPoint software version 1.1 installation disks are damaged, call the Microsoft Order Desk phone number listed above to obtain replacement disks.
