Laser Mouse 6000
I cannot uninstall the mouse. The uninstall is not in the control panel or
in the program files. How can I manually uninstall it?

Reinstall the software. Reboot. Then uninstall it. Reboot again.

I cannot reinstall it because it keeps telling me that I need to uninstall
the mouse software before it can proceed ... "Richard Urban" wrote: Reinstall the software. Reboot. Then uninstall it.

This is what happens when people use registry cleaners and some disk cleanup
utilities. The program uninstall files get deleted (or registry entries) and they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Revert your computer to a time, hopefully recent, before the uninstall file was deleted. If it happened quite a while ago, you may be stuck with the garbage. You can go to device manager and uninstall the mouse from there. Reboot and the computer will redetect the mouse - hopefully a generic one. Then you can manually delete the folder where the mouse files were installed. Please note that this will NOT rid your system of everything that the software installed, as it goes to many different locations, including the registry. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
