I have the exact problem which started after the recent game changes.
I've tried everything, driver changes, etc. but no go. If I reboot, in windows the mouse behaves fine, but if I go into AH, the cursor drifts downward making play impossible. Then coming out of AH, the cursor retains that behavior. If I never go into AH at all, my mouse behaves normally. This leads me to believe that AH has caused this problem.
