What I meant was that the instructions, while vague, stated explicitly "you
must remove other mouse drivers before installing the scroll mouse." Their
vague installation "instructions" were: - Remove mouse drivers, - shutdown
the computer, - install the mouse, -reboot and run the setup.exe on disk
provided.
I will make sure I can shutdown "mouse-less" before starting the change out.
Thanks for your advice.
