My mother wants me to install a new mouse on her PC, so she gave me the mouse, and the installation disk. Thing is, her PC doesn't have a disk drive, yet sshe can't see why it can't be installed! GRRR! I give up! |

Got a burner Paul? You could always burn the contents of the floppy onto a CD and install it from there instead.... failing that Google for the driver and download it from the net. XX Sioux |

It's possible the new mouse will work without recourse to the CD. I bought a new mouse for my old PC which didn't have disc drive so just connected the mouse up and it worked with zero problems Ron |

Paul If you have Win XP you don't need a driver disk, it will recognise any new hardware. Lynne |
