Default Intellipoint Mouse question

I've been trying to plug in a Microsoft Optical Intellimouse into my new
Vista equipped laptop, but it doesn't appear to be working, the cursor won't
budge using the mouse, but is fine with the touchpad. There is Mouse software
included with the Vista OS, is it not compatible with the Intellimouse?
Should I install the Intellimouse software? and if so, what should I do about
the Mouse software that is already installed on my laptop.
This is my first Windows computer, please keep the answers simple if possible!
Thanks very much

Go to this web site for the latest drivers for you mouse, and install them.
You install the drivers first, then connect your mouse..

Default Intellipoint Mouse question

Hi,
thanks for the advice.
One more question, what should I do with the Mouse software that is already
installed on my Vista laptop? Should I uninstall it before installing the new
Intellipoint software?
Thanks.
