I just copied the files manually. The driver seemed to work OK with my 3 button Logitech, so I thought I'd try my IBM Scrollmouse. That was a mistake. The pointer became agonizingly slow and I could no longer open the mouse settings page, and the MOLTIPT.EXE won't run either. And on reboot to change the mouse back to the 3 button, I now get an error message one WPS initialization:
" Workplace Shell SYS1417: The Resources for this application are not available." This new mouse driver is haunted. I don't know what is causing that as I see no changes to config.sys, autoexec.bat or the Startup folder. I'll try backing out the driver to see if that fixes things.
