Intellimouse problems

[SAL]

I hope this is a good place for this post.
I have Intellipoint 4.12 installed on my computer and our IT department ran
some updates on my computer (Win xp sp2) and now the Intellipoint software
doesn't recognize my Intellimouse Optical. I've uninstalled and re-installed
a couple of times and each time, during install, it allows me to pick the
Intellimouse Optical but after reboot, the Intellimouse Optical is missing
from the list so I can't use the outer left and right buttons.
I also installed and uninstalled Intellipoint 6.1 but there's no support for
scrolling in VB6.

Can anyone tell me if there's some file I need to force a replace on or if
there's someplace in the registry where the list of supported devices is
stored for version 4.12 of Intellipoint?

Thanks so much for any help on this. I'm frustrated.

I would try to get a copy of Intellipoint 5.4 and install that. The V5
installers added new "smarts" to completely uninstall any residual mouse
drivers/registry entries, and do a pretty good job of ensuring a proper
installation.

just google for "intellipoint 5.4"
