Intellipoint 6.2 will not uninstall

I have Vista Ultimate, fully patched. I have Microsoft Intellipoint 6.2 and
want to uninstall it.

In the control panel when I click on it nothing, same with Intellitype. No
menu for uninstall, repair etc. But it is Intellipoint I want to uninstall.
How do I get rid of Intellipoint?

You probably deleted the uninstall file, or you do not have the privilege...
or Vista does not allow you to uninstall the MS Mouse software
Just install and uninstall Intellipoint - Vista might gladly find and
reinstall it after reboot assuming you use the MS mouse.

When you select it in "Intellipoint" in Add/Remove, do you see "Change" in
the tool bar? If so, click "Change" and follow the prompts.

Re: Intellipoint 6.2 will not uninstall

Catch 22. Intellipoint will not reinstall because it finds it already there
and says I have to uninstall it.

In control panel/mous/driver I have disabled and deleted the driver 2x and
it comes back....

In Control when I alt click on Intelipoint to uninstall, there is no pop up
menu allowing me select uninstall or change.

I have Intelitype installed as well and have the same observations about
that except I don't want to uninstall it.

You will find it in "Programs and Features".

Vista Ultimate x64
 
 

Re: Intellipoint 6.2 will not uninstall

Here's the problem:

I want to unistall Intellipoint.

I get an error, when I attempt to uninstall, from the the Vista x64 Control Panel.

I cannot reinstall Intellipoint, since it returns a message that says I cannot reinstall until I have uninstalled.

How can I uninstall Intellipoint, without using Control Panel. I cannot use a third party application that had to be running, at the time Intellipoint was originally installed.

Dang. That third party mouse driver provider - Microsoft - has to work more closely with the OS provider - Microsoft - to make sure their software will work together.
