MS mouse and keyboard - Windows keeps wanting to install drivers
My system is Vista Ultimate. I have a wired MS basic optical mouse 'v2.0'
Optical, and wired MS keyboard 600. When Windows has started, it keeps wanting to install device drivers for the keyboard and mouse even though they work OK. In device manager they are loaded correctly as "Microsoft Wired Optical Mouse 2.0" and "Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600" but the system still detects these as "new hardware" and runs the hardware detection wizard thing and tries to find the drivers for these on the HDD and through Windows Update, even though they are already running with the latest drivers. The "Intelli" software is version 7.1. I have tried: - Uninstalling (deleting) the mouse and keyboard from Device Manager and letting the system redetect and reinstall them (eventually returns to same problem). - Uninstalled and reinstalled the Intellipoint / Intellitype software. - Plugged Mouse/Keyboard into different USB ports. I don't have another alternate keyboard or mouse (PS/2 style) to try at this time. This problem's not really serious, just annoying. Meantime, any suggestions to resolve this will be helpful. Thanks. -- _________________________ Andrew M |

MS mouse and keyboard - Windows keeps wanting to install drivers
I have a work around for this issue.
I managed to reinstall my wireless mouse/keyboard set but still wonder why Windows couldn't install even a "basic" driver for the kb/mouse as below. I'm now running Intellisense 6.1. I have a feeling that the hardware installer wizard is looking for the CD information and won't recognise the Intelli- software files as stand alone because I tried the search and it says it can't find the driver files. Have the Intelli software 6.1 on CD and it installed without issues for the wireless k/b and mouse. I'm still interested in a solution for the problem below. "Andrew Murray" wrote in message ...

MS mouse and keyboard - Windows keeps wanting to install drivers
it sounds to me like windows still is tring to install the mouse and key board . it might not be compatible with your system . also you can go into windows update and on the left side click where it reads restore hidden updates or hide updates . then you can remove them from the list in the updates . -- 13th_Panther Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Microsoft hardware not compatible with Microsoft Windows? That's a first. However the system requirements state for the Keyboard: Win 7, Vista, XP and for the Mouse: Vista, XP, 2000, 98. The mouse packaging says "Certified for Windows Vista", the keyboard packaging says "Compatible with Windows 7". There are no hidden updates to do with drivers/hardware - only a bunch of language packs that I don't use. |
