I don't have an IBM mouse but I'm used to NT4 and IBM laptops...

I guess the "qj6z40us.exe" works.

You'll find this driver many times for different IBM products eg at:

And even if it's the wrong one - a wrong mouse driver shouldn't harm your
system....

Hope this helps

Hi Calvin,

thank you for for this hint.
I wouldn't have thought about this option because my MS wheel mice are, unlike
my Logitech wheel mice, "fully" supported by the genuine NT4 driver. (Scrolling
works, zooming works - what am I missing?)
I don't know anything about IBM mice. Also, I've never dared to install
Intellimouse. If somebody confirmed that this driver does support other than MS
mice I give it a try (if I find one of these old versions).

Hi Calvin,

I'm having the same problem with my mouse and I want to try your hint.
I have looked for the Intellimouse V3.2 driver but I'm not sure I'm getting the right file. I read that you have copies of those files and I want to obtain them if it is possible.

Could you please help me to get these files.

Thanks

Milton
