Did you find a solution? I've got the same problem.

Every time I plug my mouse (Micro-Innovations, Model #PD902P) into my laptop
I get the option of installing the mouse. I click on locate and install mouse
(recommended)and it starts the Windows Auto install thing. It shows
Unidentifed Device and says Downloading update then goes to failed.

Then another box pops up and tells me that the USB Browser Mouse failed to
install because the driver installation file for this device is missing a
necessary entry. This may be because the INF was written for Windows 95 or
later.

I called MI and they said it was a Microsoft problem. I tried the solution
about opening the inf file and changing the thing in it but I didn't really
understand what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

I got the same mouse and had the same problem. Found this on another
forum worked for me...
