Perhaps the mouse is only MS compatible from the outside of the mouse
driver, or perhaps it is only compatible with older versions of MS
drivers. The point is moot however as MS Windows does not use the
driver at all, but goes direct to the mouse (apparantly there is a
good reason for it :-). The driver is installed for the benefit of DOS
progs being run under Windows. So I think you must convince _Windows_
itself to like your mouse :-(.

Good luck,
Aaron.
