Office 12 beta causes performance issue with USB Host Controller

[Heather Lynn]

I am running Vista Beta 2 build 5384 with all updates, and when I install
Office 12 my mouse stops working sporadically due to a problem between Office
12 and my USB Host Controller. I've tried both the default host controller as
well as several versions of the VIA 4 in 1 drivers none of which seem to work
together.

I was hoping maybe someone else had run across this problem and might have
some insight as to how I might install at least part of office (word and
outlook at the least) and still have a functioning mouse. (without going back
to a PS2 mouse).

I don't quite see how Office could conflict with your USB Host
Controller. This sounds more like Vista has a serious problem with it.
You should ask for help in the Vista newsgroups.
