Windows Wireless Optical Desktop 3.0a

Can anyone tell me if the Windows Wireless Optidcal Desktop 3.0a (Comfort
Keyboard 1.0a; Optical Mouse 2.0a; Optical Desktop Receiver 3.0a) will work
with Vista Home Premium? Tech specs say it is designed for Windows XP Pro and
Windows 2000. I used it with my old OS (XP Pro) but don't know if it will
work with Vista.
Thanks

Re: Windows Wireless Optical Desktop 3.0a


I have exactly the same issue as the original post. The MS drivers work
for the keyboard, but not the mouse. I can unistall the devices, reboot
and the mouse will work for about 30 seconds until Vista identifies the
device and installs drivers - the mouse does work using the default
driver set. The mouse does work using a PS2/USB adaptor, but is not
fully functional (wheel does not work). The problem is definitely with
the driver.
