With the Intellitype software installed, if you run mskey.exe when you hold
down a key and then let go, does it get correctly identified?

Certainly appears to be.  Nor am I experiencing any problems at all
the with keyboard or indeed the mouse in general, just the behaviour
of the left button.

Take a look at mouse properties in control panel and see if "click lock" is
turned on.

Will take a look when I'm next in the office, but I don't recall
seeing this option.  IntelliPoint 4.9 which comes with my Wireless
Optical Desktop for Bluetooth has it, but the Wireless Optical Desktop
(RF) sets I'm having the problem with came with IntelliPoint 5.

I'm using IP5 and the option is there under "Activities".
If activated it does exactly as you describe

It's definitely NOT there on any of the machines I'm having the
problem with, all now running IntelliPoint 5.0 on Windows 2000.

The option appears on different machines running IntelliPoint 5.0 on
XP, IntelliPoint 4.9 (which will only install on Windows XP) and
IntelliPoint 4.12 under Windows 2000 but that version causes erratic
mouse movement.

On the machines which have the ClickLock option I've tried turning it
on and get similar symptoms on so I'm pretty sure that's the "fault"
and it could be resolved if the option were available in Windows 2000.
