IntelliMouse Explorer scrolls on it's own.

I'm not sure if this is exactly a hardware problem, or a software problem, but it tweaks me off just the same. I've been using a $10 Compaq branded Logitech MouseMan for a long time now, and on occasion, it will continue to scroll, even after I release the middle button in I.

I've been using a $10 Compaq branded Logitech MouseMan [4-buttons] for a long time now, and on occasion, it will continue to scroll, even after I release the middle button in I.E. I haven't noticed this in any other apps.
 
Now, I had always attributed this to my mouse being rebranded by Compaq, and something getting fscked in the process. But, I purchased a MS IntelliMouse Explorer yesterday, and today, I'm getting the same 'scroll-until-it-feels-like-stopping' effect with this mouse.
 
Anyone have any ideas what the hell is going on?
 
This is the '"33% faster", 2000 samples/sec.' one, on the PS/2 port [uSB isn't working for some reason - will work on that later], with IntelliPoint 3.2 drivers from the included disk. Win2K Pro [had server on w/ same problems w/ Logitech], Soyo 7VCA.

Download DirectX8 Control Panel from The- Ctrl-Alt-Del site and remove debug modes. Update Graphics Adapter to the latest driver.
 
If the problem persists, give us specifics on harware and software (specially graphics).

OP
OK, trying the Ctr-Alt-Del stuff now.
 
For reference, my system includes:
PIII 500E@700 [140FSB] on the 7VCA;
258MB RAM [128xPC100 & 128xPC133]
StealthIII S540 [with latests drivers, damn S3];
using the onboard sound [Acoustic Edge is on the way];
IE 5.5, SP1;
um.. what else would be relevant...
Adaptec SCSI, Office 2K, tons of other apps.

Some tips about mouse problems.
 
A) Average pointer speed recovers accuracy:
 
http://www.rojakpot.com/Other_Articles/Win2K_Tips/Accurate_Mouse/Accurate_Mouse.htm
 
Choice of the 3Dmouse pointer 3Dgarro.cur prevents a second mouse cursor in 3D games.
 
C) Disable Pointer shadow, Mouse trails and Snap to. They are knowen to create problems.
 
D) Run regedit and first export a copy of the complete registry.
 
Check if you find "Lkbdflt2" on the line:
 
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}:
UpperFilters:REG_MULTI_SZ: kbdclass
 
Check if you find Lmouflt2 on the line:
 
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96F-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}:
UpperFilters:REG_MULTI_SZ: mouclass
 
Those two drivers are Logitech software filter drivers and should not be there. Do nothing now that would not solve anything.
 
Check if you find "IPFilter.sys" on the line:
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt] "UpperFilters"="System32\\Drivers\\IPFilter.sys"
 
Check if this file is present in the folder C:\WINNT\system32\drivers
 
Finally check if the following line is in the registry:
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msi8042prt]
 
Those are the Intellipoint drivers.
