The point32.sys process is a system component file packaged with the program files, system drivers and modular resources that are required by the firmware and driver software components of certain Microsoft IntelliPoint mouse devices. The Microsoft IntelliPoint software is bundled with these firmware and driver software distributions, and the point32.sys process is included in the installer distributions of these resources. This means the point32.sys file is installed in the system during the installation of Microsoft IntelliPoint firmware and driver software components. The point32.sys file is specifically deployed as the Microsoft IntelliPoint Filter Driver module, which means the point32.sys file is referenced by the system whenever the Microsoft IntelliPoint software needs to load the Microsoft IntelliPoint Filter Driver module unto the associated Microsoft IntelliPoint firmware and driver software components, then implement its associated functionalities into the system upon user request.
