Default MS Mouse Not All There


MS Wireless mouse 4000

Window XP Pro.

All but two function work.
Not working is the side and scroll buttons.

I went in to Control Panel Mouse and it says it cannot find a Microsoft
Mouse so there is no way now to get these two needed buttons to work.

How do I get it all working ?

If I need to download something, please provide details.
Thank you.

You can see how they treat their customers, here. Win7 minimum
for the currently visible one.

Intellipoint 8.0 is here, and claims WinXP SP3 as a member
of the family. Click the red button to start the download.

Thank goodness an internet archive, is keeping Microsoft afloat.
I hope during the last fundraising drive, Microsoft donated a
million bucks for the bandwidth they're sucking out of this site.

These Intellipoint drivers may or may not support your
mouse, which is part of the fun I guess. The Wikipedia article
claims at some point, Microsoft removed support for PS/2 Microsoft
products.

It's faster for you to just try the driver, than for me
to tear the wings off it and see what makes it tick.

Drats !
Installer IPx86_1033_8.0.225.0.exe says a later version is already
installed so it stopped.

I found IPX86_1033_8.20.468.0.EXE now that I know how the filename is
formed.

Tried to rerun IPX86_1033_8.20.468.0.EXE but says I have to uninstall it
first.

How ?
Trying Revo Uninstaller.

Installed IPX86_1033_8.20.468.0.EXE but no joy.

The MS 4000 SIDE button seems to do a like a back arrow in Explorer and
elsewhere. Did that before but would need the magnifier on the left
button to be happy.

I tried different thing in the Control Panel Mouse but no joy there either.

Went to https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us.
Clicked on "Mice".
Clicked on "Learn more" (or the mouse picture) for the "Wireless Mobile
Mouse 4000".
Clicked on "Downloads".
Under the "Software & Drivers" listbox, Windows 7 is listed (for 32-bit
and 64-bit).
You never identified the bitwidth of your OS. Once you pick a bitwidth
for the OS, the software link changes to match. In this test, I picked
"Windows 7 (32-bit only)".
The software link changed to "Windows 7 (64-bit only), Mouse and
Keyboard Center 11". Clicking will download a
MouseKeyboardCenter_64bit_ENG_12.181.exe, 45.9MB.

So, have you actually retrieved the software needed to define the extra
features of that mouse beyond a generic HID (Human Interface Device)?
This device did not come with software media to install the necessary
ancilliary software beyond just the reference software that comes
bundled in Windows? Did you even search before posting, or was this a
knee-jerk inquiry?

You also find the Quick Start manual there. Presumably you also don't
have that manual since since it gives the URL from which you obtain the
software downloads for Microsoft's hardware. Often software is media no
longer bundled with hardware (and for software required to define the
hardware beyond a generic device). It should have come with a tiny
booklet (the manual is very short) that mentions where you download the
software, or it might've been printed on the packaging.

IP = Intellipoint

Microsoft replaced that later with Mouse and Keyboard Center (see my
other reply *if* "MS Wireless mouse 4000" is the same one that I found
going to Microsoft's hardware page).

There is no "Intellipoint" listed in Add/Remove Programs? Also, you
never bothered to mention the bitwidth of your Windows 7 instance.
Drivers MUST match the bitwidth of the OS. The "IPx86" in the filename
hints that it is the installer for a 32-bit version of Windows. So, are
you running Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) or Windows 7 x64 (64-bit)?

http://www.inbox.com/article/how-to-...ellipoint.html
(found by a Google search on "how uninstall intellipoint")

If not, I'd try using Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) to right-click on the
mouse and choose Uninstall. On a reboot, the generic or reference
driver will get installed for that HID (Human Interface Device). Then
you install the software mentioned in my other reply (if that's your
mouse).

Oops, I read your cross-posted article in the Windows 7 newsgroup to
which you invalidly cross-posted. You stated you are using Windows XP,
yet you cross-posted to the Windows 7 newsgroup. Your issue is not with
Windows 7 other than Microsoft doesn't support that OS with that mouse.
Their software supports Windows 7 and above, not Windows XP. You bought
a mouse that is not supported back in Windows XP because it doesn't have
the ancilliary software to work in that old OS.

You can try to install Intellipoint with the correct bitwidth version,
which for Windows XP is 32-bit ("Windows XP" with not bitwidth qualifier
means the x86 version). However, that old software was not designed nor
supports communication with your mouse.

You could try Intellipoint, but since it doesn't support your mouse,
likely the software won't work with that mouse. The Microsoft download
pages for Intellipoint a

Microsoft Intellipoint 8.2 Mouse Software for Windows - 32 bit
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=26947

Microsoft Intellipoint 8.2 Mouse Software for Windows - 64 bit
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=26948

Bitwidth of driver must match bitwidth of OS.
