From Soni===
Dear Webby,
You once talked me into getting an Intellimouse Explorer 
mouse and warned me that eventually the cable would break. 
After about 3 years of heavy use it did. My grandson 
shortened the cable a foot and soldered the new ends into 
the mouse and for now it works. However, it definitely 
reminded me that about 2 years ago I had picked up a 
wireless version of that mouse when it was on sale at 
Staples. Unfortunately it was in a big, huge and klutzy box,
which I promptly used for fire starter. The driver CD got 
lost in the meantime. Where do I find the drivers?

Dear Soni
The drivers are at http://microsoft.com/mouse
You don't even have to save them onto your computer.
Just select the right mouse and Windows version and 
language, then chose OPEN. That will install the driver.
After that, unplug the old mouse and plug in the receiver 
of the new mouse, and it works without even rebooting.


Yeah, I had done the same. Bought the wireless version on 
one of my travels, promptly threw away the huge, near 
empty box, and heaved the mouse in with my dirty laundry 
that I keep mailing home, so that I can travel light and slip 
through customs easily. By the time I get home, my laundry 
and souvenirs are already there and waiting for me.

The wireless Intellimouse Explorer sure is a treat to use!

Have FUN
