Vista - Drivers for Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse and Desktop Elite Keyb

Yeah, there are also posts that say Vista does not install....

I am running Intellimouse and Intellitype on Vista 64. I isntalled the XP 64
version of the apps, which are not the newest, but they allow me to control
all the functions. I installed in compatibility mode...like I have done for
all software I have installed.
