plug n play devices

I am having alot of trouble with my new wireless microsoft mouse and ten
key...both are supposedly "plug n play" devices. But neither work. Vista asks
me to install drivers on plug n play...HELP!!!!

I have gone to the manufacturers site and downloaded both drivers and
nothing works. I wish I had stayed with XP. All this trouble is not worth it.

Have you downloaded any updated drivers for your motherboard, USB hubs or
chipsets, and maybe the USB Update for Vista?

Carefully. :-)

Go to your computer or motherboard manufacturer's site and check for updated
drivers, follow installation instructions that are given on the site or with
the drivers. Click the link I gave you to read about and download the USB
Filter update, then install it.
