| | Intellipoint Mouse question I've been trying to plug in a Microsoft Optical Intellimouse into my new Vista equipped laptop, but it doesn't appear to be working, the cursor won't budge using the mouse, but is fine with the touchpad. There is Mouse software included with the Vista OS, is it not compatible with the Intellimouse? Should I install the Intellimouse software? and if so, what should I do about the Mouse software that is already installed on my laptop. This is my first Windows computer, please keep the answers simple if possible! Thanks very much |

| | Re: Intellipoint Mouse question Hi, thanks for the advice. One more question, what should I do with the Mouse software that is already installed on my Vista laptop? Should I uninstall it before installing the new Intellipoint software? Thanks.
