Hi all,

I recently upgraded MS Intellipoint (point32.exe) to v4.10.851.0, and
since on some kind of irregular basis, it opens a port and tries to
connect to microsoft.com. I have registered the soft, in an effort stop
these connect attempts, but they continue. What's going on?

Thanks!

Probably looking to see if updates are available. Check to see if
there is a config parm that disables the auto-update feature.
