Intellipoint is used for your Microsoft mouse. You can disable it and use the generic mouse drivers, but you won't be able to use the mouse's special buttons and extra functions.

I had that problem when I reinstalled my OS. I went to the Microsoft website and searched for the software for the keyboard and mouse, Intellipoint, for the mouse I think. It comes as a package for the mouse and kb based on the model you have. Pretty simple to find. Just load it and it should install without a problem and be recognized by PC. If your USB drivers are OK, this should be all you need to do.

1.Make sure that you have inserted both the required batteries (New batteries) into the wireless pointing device and that they are positioned in the correct direction.
2. Resync the mouse.
3.If you do not have the resync button follow the next step
4.Test the device on a different computer
If the issue continues to occur, test the mouse on a different computer in a different environment. If you can replicate the problem in a different environment, you may have a defective device. If this is the case, see the "More Information" section for information about how to contact Microsoft Supplemental Parts to obtain a replacement device.
5.Test the mouse by using the Mousinfo diagnostic tool
The Mousinfo diagnostic tool is installed together with the IntelliPoint software. If you do not have this software, you cannot open the tool.

To install the IntelliPoint software, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

If this is the case, see the "More Information" section for information about how to contact Microsoft Supplemental Parts to obtain a replacement device. However, the best way to determine whether the device is defective or damaged is to try the device on a different computer.
7.Uninstall any conflicting mouse software
If you have any other mouse software that is installed, such as Logitech or touchpad software, that software may conflict with the IntelliMouse software. To uninstall the other software, follow the appropriate steps for your version of Windows.

Dear Nealteresa:

Please click on the link below and download the drivers for Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 4000 and select IntelliPoint 6.2 (32bit) for Windows Vista.
