| How do you know what version you currently have installed? |

What are all you people going on about. Well I must be lucky then as far as the install went. I am using Windows 2000 PRO here and pervously had version 3.2 of the software installed. I uninstalled that first, restart the system, then I installed the newer version and then rebooted again. When it return to windows again, I was greeted by the mouse help page and the configuration box usually accessed via the control panel. The whole installation went smoothly. But as for the version, well I agree with the rest of you, that this isn't version 4.01.
Microsoft are not very good at testing their own products before releasing it on to the world. Take Internet Explorer 6 for examplel, I had various problems with it that eventually messed by whole installation of Windows 2000 on my laptop up. First (Thats if I could get it installed) Outlook Express would crash if you closed it with the X button on the top right of the windows, but not from the drop down menu. Then secondly if you have multiple accouts under Windows 2000, the browser is inaccessable. And thirdly but not finally will random stop working. Another thing that was minor is that it would always save picture files that are JPEG with the *.jpeg extension, which my paint program wouldn't understand, but if I manually change the extension to *.jpg it would. Earlier I said not finally, well this true. I envertually got fed up with changing the extension of the file, so I uninstalled, restarted and then reinstalled it. The version i had before was IE 5.5 SP2. Once my computer had restarted with the newly reinstalled version, I powered up the borwser. The browser ran fine, until I tried to click on anything. In the Windows task manager, it said it was still running so I assume it hadn't crashed. So I closed the browser in the task manager. Then I ran a repaire process that can be done via the add/remove function in windows on IE6, but if reported that it was still using five IE 5.5 SP2 files and suggested trying to reinstall IE6. Which I did, and the same thing happened and the same thing happened again in the repair part again. So I thought what about if I manually placed these files missing IE6 files in the right location. I managed to do two of the five, but the other three were locked by the operating system so I restarted in the hope that it would be unlocked. Once it restarted, e any function that related to Explorer, crashed, including Explorer (The windows shell). I tried to the Windows 2000 repair from the bootable CD to fix, and that did the trick and got me back into my computer. But because the CD had pre service pack files and I had service pack 2 installed, I didn't trust the installing of my Windows system, so I wiped it and started again. So that is what it like trying anything from Microsoft. You think by the time it reaches the final release that they have ironed out all the bug, but they never test the whole thing out. Windows ME had a beta of IE 5.5 with it, IE 6 would work, but only if you are lucky and this mouse driver, which IS the main focus of the new story (I'm not forgetting that), is like that too, but Microsoft lied about the version. Can you really trust what you getting from these people when Windows XP arrives on seen. Think about it, it has been through a lot of testing, that Windows XP, but I wonder how many bug have been over locked!!!!! This post was edited by Oracle on Saturday, September 22, 2001 at 22:46. |

1.Restart (desable GoBack if applicable)
2.Remove existing mouse drive with Add/Rem. Say yes when ask to remove hand healthy stuff 3.When restarting, Windows will scare you with screen advising on the mouse driver removal.Click any key to continue and select restart at end of process. 4.Pointer is slowwww because of lack of driver. Install new dride 4.01 and select your mouse type when ask, including your operating Windows System. 5.No settings are required because the old ones are transfered. Enjoy IntelliPoint Version 4.00.0657 and Driver Version 11.40 |

| My mouse speed is set to fastest every time I logout and log back in, in fact, that whole tab is reset to the default, I'm wondering if all the settings don't go to default. |

referring to comment #23
The real difference with the this update is the hardware support. Now it supports the newer mouses that Microsoft have released. There are also some minor changes, like the interface which has been revamped slightly to show what the new mouse looks like. Another minor one is that the buttons on the mouse (Whatever one you use) can now have more custom configurations that before. But I suggest, if the one (Driver software I mean) that you are currently using works with what you got, then stick with it as there isn't really much benefit you will get with this update, unless you are planning on eventually (Or already are) using Windows XP. Hope that helps!!!!! |
