Wireless notebook optical mouse 3000

I have an Acer laptop with Vista Home Premium. I have Spy Sweeper and Trend
Micro Antivirus installed. I have been unable to install Microsoft Wireless
Notebook Optical Mouse 3000. This works fine on my Win XP computer. Is
something blocking the installation of the software?

Hi,

What happens when you try to install the software? Have you tried just using
a standard PS/2 mouse driver? Are you installing it as an administrator
(right click setup and use the 'run as admin' option)?

I have tried many mouse drivers installed as administrator with no luck. I
guess this is the reason it was marked down from $30 to $10 dollars.

Hi John,

Try one of the following drivers. I provide links to the current drivers
from the Microsoft website. Depending on your version, select 32-bit or
64-bit.
