It isn't necessary to check for updates every time you start Vista so
you could disable it from starting via Msconfig.

On the startup tab clear the box relating to setpointupdate.exe .

Leave the two entries alone if they don't reference SetPointUpdate.exe

Autoruns from Sysinternals will show you what is being loaded when Windows starts.
Download it from here:
[url]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx[/url]

It doesn't need installing, just unzip and run the autoruns.exe file from the folder.
Right-click and run as administrator.
Agree to the license and it will scan your computer listing
everything, including loads of Microsoft entries.
Click on Options and select ' Hide Microsoft and Windows Entries '.
Click on the green arrows icon to refresh the list.
Now look down the list for SetPointUpdate.exe.
Clear the box to disable or right-click to delete any entries.

You shouldn't have to mess about with an exe file's properties
to get the software to run properly.
These might seem like silly questions:
Have you re-booted to effect any changes?
Have you got the latest version of the software?
When you get the warning message is it a UAC prompt with the desktop dimming ?
Or is it a message from something like an antivirus program ?

The fact that the update option is disabled via the tray icon and
yet still wants to run SetPointUpdate.exe sounds like something's broken.

Without the latest software we are going round in circles.
Select your mouse from here and download the latest drivers:

I have a Logitech mouse. I don't use the software.
When the batteries are low the LED flashes.

Well, I'm out of sensible ideas, so if you want to run the old
software you could either:
Rename/delete setpointupdate.exe and see what happens.
Turn off UAC.
Live with the UAC prompt.
or
Get a new mouse.

Sorry I couldn't help.
