Having problems installing drivers

[sparky3009]

I bought a microsoft wireless optical notebook mouse 3000... installed microsofts intellipoint software, and it my computer wont recognize it.

I went to dev manager and their are no drivers installed for the mouse after installing that software (which is supposed to install the driver). I tried manually installing the driver and it keeps saying it cant find the driver (from system32/driver and from the intellipoint folder.

Anybody have any ideas on how to get the drivers to install before I throw the mouse at my truck and run that P.O.S. over?

So i reckon u are using WinXP, so well actually installing the Intellipoint drivers is not necessary unless u want to customize the mouse buttons, that little bad boy is "plug and play" but apparently in your case is "plug and pray" !!! hehe

so one thing have u put the battery in?

weird, uninstalling all previous mice drivers and the Intellipoint drivers, then reboot and test your mouse, also try booting up in safe mode to see if the mouse works

I ended up having IT reformatted because it wouldn't let me install ANY drivers. I can't do a whole lot with the laptop since the school locks it down with their policies. Good thing they didn't see that I manually removed the symantec bs :-D
