New Intellipoint Software Install and no buttons work now

[Steve Marshall]

Just installed the new Intellipoint software - 5.4 - and my wireless
Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 mouse no longer has functionality with all 5
of the buttons.

Google searched and don't see anything relevant.

You should be using IntelliPoint v5.2 with that particular mouse.
Uninstall the 5.4 version, then install v5.2.

Tried that version, Carey, too; same result.

The best for me has been 4.12 which is not supposed to work with my
mouse at all.

In the CONNECTED DEVICE box, you did select the 2.0 Explorer mouse?

Intellipoint 5.4 work well with my WIME 2.0.
The default buttons may be different from previous versions of Intellipoint,
so confirm that they are assigned as expected in the mouse control panel.

What interface is the mouse connected to the computer by? PS2 or USB? Also
make sure your mouse is connected directly into your computer and not
through a switch for the sake of troubleshooting.

Connected directly to USB 2.0 port on motherboard and have reassigned
buttons per my custom usage.

I have gone back to 4.12 drivers and all is working great.
