Optical Mouse Driver For Windows 7 32 Bit
Cristy Borovetz
The only thing I can think of is that this model of Dell Precision was not tested in the Fall Creator update back in OCT17 by Dell. Drivers were not updated, so either some other driver might work or there is no telling if something could hose the drivers all together. It also could be possible that Windows 10 is not supported for this machine all together.
Another possibility is that someone could have plugged something into the USB ports causing Windows to flake out for I/O device drivers. I did one more test and was able to read/write a flash drive, but not a desktop scanner or other brand/model keyboard and mouse.
I was having this same issue, just with a different model of keyboard/mouse (Dell machine and wireless keyboard/mouse combo) and after uninstalling the KB4074588 update like michellelieske suggested, the issue was resolved. I was able to remote into the machines and uninstall that way. My best guess is that it was a registry change made by the patch that caused the issue.
The issue was that most USB devices would not be recognized, as well as the touch screen would not work. The USB devices would return a code 28. For example, plugging in a mouse would cause the red light on it to appear for several seconds before turning off. I had tried disabling selective suspend by editing the registry and a lot of other unsuccessful items.
The last time I found myself in the same position I bought 2 optical mice brand name being TECHNIKA, the first one lasted about a year or two when the scroll button started to go wonky, so I added the second mouse and it's working as the first one did previously.
I use a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical, too. However I do so using the PS/2 adapter and use the great Kensington MouseWorks (v. 6.11) to program the buttons and chording (two buttons at the same time) clicks (it only works for PS/2 mouses, though, since it'll recognize it's not a Kensington mouse [and refuse to work] if you try to use it with a USB mouse).
My previous drivers MS Intellipoint version 4.0 didn't recognized the mouse, that's why I uninstalled them but I was unable to get installed any newer version of MS Intellipoint or IntelliType (4 or 5).
After reading your post I decided I had better get a few extra spare mice for my Win 98SE notebooks. I found this very cheap USB Optical 3 Button wired mouse at Amazon. It is only $4.99 with free shipping included. It has a long cord to reach from the right side of your computer to the left side, as is the case for where my USB port is. Some of the reviews are negative, mostly people dropping the little critter ... but there are positive reviews also. I just got mine today and am using it now. Very satisfied for a spare and may use it everyday. I can see it breaking if dropped on a hard floor from some height. It is listed on the box to work with Win 98/2000/Me/NT/XP/Vista/Win7 ... I may get a couple extra at this price but so far it works very good. Had to slow it down a little in the Control Panel/Mouse folder. Of course, maybe it will only work for a week or two but I will use it heavy everyday next week.
There was also another USB Optical wired mouse that I also ordered, had to pay shipping but many people said good things about it. Decided to get that one also. However, when I ordered from just a few days ago the price was $3.99 + $3.99 shipping ... today the price is $9.35 + shipping (unless you get 3 for free shipping) ... pretty big price jump from Sept 8th. I am thinking it is very popular with more people ordering the thing with the good reviews. However, anyone that does buy from Amazon knows that the prices change constantly. It could drop back to the old price next week or tomorrow.
... Just wanted to add one last post about that $4.99 USB Optical mouse. I see Amazon has switched companies around on the link I posted earlier. The new company is still selling the mouse for $4.99 but also with a shipping charge now. If you look a little further down the page you will see a few other companies listed ... WOWparts is the company that was listed here last week. Their price is now $5.99 but still with free shipping and I see the one seller is still selling a $3.99 mouse with free shipping. That's the thing with Amazon, prices are always changing and the sellers also. Maybe no one is really interested but I thought I should clear a few things up.
... This is my last post (09-14) on this $4.99 USB Mouse ... I see Amazon has WOWparts as the main dealer again at the $4.99 price with free shipping. It's unreal how the prices and sellers change at Amazon every day or two.
For the heck of it, I plugged in my Arc Mouse (my mouse of choice) into my Presario 3020 running 98SE. It detected it and works fine. Scroll wheel doesn't scroll, but I imagine I could find a way to make it work if I cared. It's wireless, btw.
As for wireless keyboard, the Arc Keyboard is recognizable as a standard USB keyboard so that it can work with devices such as the X360, PS3, etc. - so it would undoubtedly run on 98SE as well just fine and it's wireless too.
There's even a few serial wireless devices - my Presario 3020 has a Logitech Mouseman Cordless that came with it, and the receiver is built into the base. It's hooked up via internal serial header and is recognized as a serial mouse until you install the drivers (doesn't function as a serial mouse without the drivers, but point is it's serial and 98SE and wireless..).
There seems to be no Windows 10 drivers available for that product, on the HP site. This may be the reason why you are having some issues. You can try uninstalling the mouse, and reinstalling it. If you are having trouble with the install, then try using Microsoft Fix It. I hope this helps.

Hi all,
Just wondering if there are any Microsoft mouse drivers for Open Suse Linux.
At the moment I got a Microsoft basic optical mouse and it runs perfect on Windows
In OS it feels really different in games.
Its not a getting used to feel.
On the other hand whats a good basic optical mouse for Linux gaming
Which includes drivers for Linux?

The drivers installed easily on my machine at work. Unfortunately, they will not install on my computer at home. When I double click on the Setup.exe, it asks me if I want to install it, and of course I click on "Yes", but nothing happens. When I say nothing happens, I mean nothing happens; it appears that it doesn't even try to install. The same thing happens when I right click on the setup.exe and select run as administrator.
Upon looking up your mouse, I see that A4Tech doesn't offer a driver for anything newer than Vista 32-bit. But the Windows driver package they offer DOES contain Windows 2003 64-bit and XP 64-bit drivers, so MAYBE one of those will work.
If you can't acquire a 64-bit driver for Windows 7, you could try the freeware X-Mouse Button Control. It will let you program the functions of the various buttons. I'm not sure how it will handle the dual scroll wheels though.
I have tried installing nusb (33,36) and some other random USB drivers to no avail. They do exactly nothing (after multiple reboots), mouse/kb/flash is just not working and there are no driver popups after booting in.
None because there arent any I think (its a newish P55 mobo). If I remember correctly I was able to install USB drivers before anything else on a more period correct mobo before - but my memory is not perfect.
Thanks, I have yet to inspect this resource fully but so far I only found stuff for 5 series chipset for Win2k+, not to mention P55 wasnt specifically listed there. But I am not very familiar with this so I may be looking at the wrong places so I will give it more time and effort. And that Win2k stuff will not load, neither EXE or INF packages, I have tried that just in case. I have also tried this (link) which is for a completely different chipset, it actually installed, but did not help anything regarding USB support. I am running out of options so I just tried whatever I thought I could try.
Also... the USB mouse and keyboard just work when I boot into a 100% fresh Windows 98SE under Safe Mode. Perhaps the BIOS/mobo has a hand in that? This made me pretty confident that there must be a way to make this permanent, somehow.
