Hello Robert. I successfully solved this problem. You don't even need to 
power-off or reset the mouse. Follow the directions in my earlier e-mail:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=30640322&forum_id=1883
( or search for "Microsoft IntelliMouse with kernel 2.6.18 and 
patch-2.6.18-mh1 is broken (fix provided)" ).
