I had the same problem. On my system it was cause by installing the MS
Update: CHIC - Other Hardware - USB Browser Mouse After I installed the update, I could not configure a USB or BT mouse. I would get the error you described. I got things working again by removing the .inf file oem??.inf that was installed by the update. I thought it was a general mouse update, but I think it is a specific brand. There were two CHIC updates on MS update. I don't know which one installed the .inf file. Dale "bulb005" wrote in message ...

Connect to Windows Update and click on "review update history". On my
system it does not show on control panel "program", but it does show on the Windows Update history. Because it did not show as a installed update in "programs", I could not uninstall it and had to remove the .inf file manually.

USB Browser Mouse Driver Error
I had the problem on two laptop and the file had a different name (number)
on each system. Vista appears to assign a file name oem??.inf, where ?? is the next higher number. I use the "review update history" display on the Window Update web site to find the date the CHIC driver was installed and then looked at the .inf files in C:\Windows\inf to find the .inf files installed on that day. I then use notepad to look at the file and found the one with CHIC definitions. I saved a copy of the file and then deleted one in C:\Windows\inf. Reboot and both the USB and Bluetooth mice installed OK.
