| | Re: USB optical mouse on vista Try this fix to see if it repairs your problem, Before Posting. This solution has worked for some people with problematic USB and General Devices: 1. Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf 2. Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give your account full control. 3. Delete INFCACHE.1 (Or just to be safe, rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your desktop but you shouldn't need to, windows doesn't need that file to run, and if it needs to it recreates it). 4.

| | RE: USB optical mouse on vista Hi macca, You don't need drivers for keyboards and mice to work with Vista - the drivers are built in to the operating system. However, these are basic drivers which only give basic functionality. If your keyboard or mouse has any other features such as hot keys then you will need to install a driver to make use of that facility. If you did not get a driver disk, you should be able to download a driver from the manufacturers website. Make sure that it is the correct driver for your operating system.
