Anyone using Intellipoint mouse software?

packman
I'd like some feedback from anyone who's using a Microsoft mouse that employs Intellipoint software newer than v4. 1. It seems that, since Intellipoint v. 4. 1, Microsoft have released several alternative versions - 5.

Microsoft SideWinder Precision 2

godzuki
I bought this off an auction recently, and my PC doesn't recognize it at all. Even when I plug in the USB, nothing. I've read posts earlier when some people said its worked fine for them once they plug it in, but it doesn't seem to be working at this end.

MOUSE SUDDENLY QUIT

ladyjfk
I am running XP. This morning my mouse suddenly stopped working. Tried safe mode, tried re-booting. Seems like it tries to work (I can see it move for a second) then no longer works once it boots up to the logon screen.

Question about RAM

bchilly
My parents just bought me a stick of 1GB DDR 400MHz ram. I installed this and left the original 256mb stick in. The 256mb stick is DDR 333MHz. When I right click on my computer it says I only have 1GB of RAM when I have more.

mikekkk
I have plugged in a new USB2 card to an old gigabyte motherboard (2001) and flashed the bios and got windows right up to date. The device does not appear in the device manager. Does that mean the problem is with the motherboard? What do I check? Thanks.

Stuck at XP Welcome Screen

jillmaui
Help! My computer will not boot past the XP welcome screen. I called Dell Tech Support and they told me that I probably just need to reinstall the OS and that my data is probably gone. I am not going to believe that- I cannot believe that- there is very important information on the computer.
