Thanks for the information. So what you are saying is that if I uninstall the old mouse driver (which the directions for the new mouse says that I need to) I would use the operating system CD to uninstall and reinstall the mouse driver (if necessary).
As mentioned, you do not need to uninstall anything. A mouse is a plug and play device and just automatically configured by the operating system when attached. All you have to do is unplug the old mouse and plug the new one in and then check to see if you have any errors in your Device Manager.
Mouse and keyboard drivers are built into Windows. You don't need to uninstall anything. Just remove the mouse and attach another one. You can uninstall the mouse software if you want, but it's not necessary.
