After months of working nice&easy with the current setup (Win7 64-bit Ultimate, SetPoint 6.1 64-bit + uberOptions) I've bumped into a problem: the mouse would accidentaly lock-up my PC dead. The only buttons responding would be Reset and Power. The lock-ups happen at random several times a day - very frustrating.

Get a feeling it's not software, it's hardware. Changing USB connections didn't help.

Second bug (definitely software): mouse pointer artifact on the second display in portrait mode. The artifact looks like the pointer is underlined by a dotted line.

Any thoughts on that?

The same happened to me.

The exact same mouse cursor artifact on a second screen with portrait orientation happens to me on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, but I don't think this is strictly a Logitech software issue. I do have a Logitech webcam and headset connected, but no other Logitech app running. I can go to Windows display settings panel and make a dummy change (like resolution or rotation) that I then cancel, to force the screen to redraw to get rid of the artifact, but then when I go into a VM using VMware Workstation on the primary screen, and then move my mouse to the second, the artifact reappears.

I found a workaround to the mouse cursor artifact. If you can live with having "pointer trails" on your mouse cursor, go to the Mouse control panel, and in the Pointer Options tab, enable Display pointer trails and set the length to the shortest possible. This somehow repaints the cursor continuously in a way that eliminates the dotted line artifact on the second portrait display.
