Cor, this is a *very* long-running thread - 9 years and still
counting!

The consensus (including the 'official' advice from Aaron) seems to be
either to *RMKill all but one instance of RSTools or, arguably better
still, press <F12>, type *unplug RSTools and press <Enter>.

This seems to apply to various features, activities and probs, e.g.
CallWin32, the stuttering mouse and the scroll wheel.

We've *unplugged RSTools on all our business/domestic machines 
including the battery-driven netbook (total 8), seemingly with no 
adverse reactions.

If you want to delve further, the following are related threads I've
found on the VirtualAcorn Forum, in chronological order 2005-2010, but
not necessarily an exhaustive listing:
