hi folks,

i have a MS wireless intellimouse explorer 2.0 and tried to install its
driver on my XP Tablet 2005 in order to fully support its tilt wheel
feature, but i got the following message and failed to continue:

"Setup has detected conflicting device software already installed on
this system that may impair the functionality of the device software
you are installing. Click 'OK' to remove the existing device software
and continue installation, or click 'Cancel' to exist Setup."

i certainly chose the "cancel" to prevent removing my synaptics
touchpad software because i need it when i use my laptop without
external mouse (wired or wireless). i need these drivers coexisting
with each other. did anyone of you try this before? successfully done
without problems?

here is more inforamtion about these two software in detail:

1) Microsoft IntelliPoint v5.0 software (May 2003)
point32.dll: 5.0.176.0
point32.exe: 5.0.174.0
point32.sys: 5.0.174.0

2) Synaptics TouchPad v7.2.0.0

FYI:

thanks in advance.

regards,
bbao

Haven't seen any conflicts here, and I've used that wireless mouse with
several Tablet PCs. I honestly don't remember on my convertible Tablets if
I've had the touchpad disabled at the time, but you might try going into
Control Panel/Mouse and check for a special tab for the touchpad where you
can run it or turn it off. Then try installing the wireless mouse.

just installed IntelliPoint 5.2 on the ACER tablet PC using Wireless
IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0, it did not prompt that to-uninstall message
again but just disabled the installed Synaptics TouchPad v5.8 component
in control panel at all! what a rough action. anyway, after installed
the touchpad software from ACER recovery CD again, both of them work
fine now. thanks to Synaptics, she never disable others for enabling
herself. ;)

cheers,
bbao

You really should stop trying to send folks out of this news group to a
site that requires registration. These news groups exist for a purpose.
If you've got something to share, then this is the appropriate place to
share it.

hi Paul, thanks for your comment. this is because the original question
and related discussions are there, i just did hope the guys here could
learn more relevant information before giving their opinions to me. btw,
i also have listed the URL of this thread at that site, because the
final answer is from this newsgroup. so, it is not an advertisement, it
is just for sharing with more people. regards, bbao

I didn't say it was an advertisement. You're trying to split this
discussion into two different places. Most of us have neither the time
nor the inclination to follow the same discussion in more than one
location. If you want to do so, fine, just don't expect others to follow
suit.

hehe, ok, i will notice this issue later, thanks for your comment. ;)

I do not go to that site because it requires registration. I'm not
interesting in "joining" any site just to read something. I prefer a free
exchange of information without strings attached, thank you.

it is so strange that some guys of here (you are not the 1st) think that
site needs registration for just seeing something, it is actually NOT
true, else i wont paste its URL at here, for easily sharing what we
discussed. regards, bbao.

I hate to say this, but unless you're a "member" of that site, clicking on
the URL you furnished only offers the question, with "Sign Up to See This
Solution" in bold, large letters beneath it. That's the way ALL the
"solutions" are listed. If they cannot be free with the information, then
perhaps it isn't that important and it isn't worth my going there.

just tried to access http://www.experts-exchange.com/Q_20963431.html in
IE without logging in, yeah, as you described, "Sign Up to See This
Solution" appears in bold, hehe. but please be patient, just scroll the
page down, after skipping the big area for advertisement and available
topic areas, you may see the solution and all comments, one of them is
for you. ;)

in fact, i dont like its webpage design for anonymous guests, too. there
are at least four advertising sectors throughout a page. as a member, i
have been used to work in its expert mode which has well-designed layout
without any advertisement, so i have almost forgotten how their pages
look like in anonymous mode, only do remember that any visitor can
google and see the solutions without registration.

ok, it seems we have discussed a lot on a trivial thing, but it is still
necessary to avoid misunderstanding.

thanks,
bbao

In your second post to this thread here in this news group you stated:

"just installed IntelliPoint 5.2 on the ACER tablet PC..." yet on the

website you keep pointing to you said:

"sorry, forgot to mention it. my system is windows 2000 SP4 (US
english)."

Both those statements cannot possibly be true. Either you're using a
tablet or you're using Windows 2000, you can't possibly be using both.
If the former, then this is an appropriate place for your question, if
the latter, this definitely is not the appropriate place. Which is it?

both of these statements are definitely true. each story has its
different hardware and software combination, but the problem is same. so
i gave the URLs just for reference. i believe i did post the question at
the appropriate place.

when i bought the MS wireless mouse, i was using W2K on Acer TM350
notebook (please see the post date), then i got the problem on the
combination of IntelliPoint 5.0 + TouchPad v5.0.94 + W2K/SP4, and then i
gave up to install the MS driver because i did not want to make my
notebook unstable. it is my main box till now.

some days later, i upgraded the OS from W2K to W2K3, i found the two
thumb buttons are workable under W2K3 but horizontal scrolling (tilt
wheel) still did not work. again, i still had no MS driver installed at
the time.

this year, i got the Acer TMC112 which is my first tablet PC. before
using it as my main machine, i started to install a lot of software to
test and practice. yesterday, i tried to install the newly downloaded
IntelliPoint 5.2 on the tablet and found that the two drivers coexist
fine after re-installing TouchPad v7.2.0.0, the thumb buttons and tilt
wheel are workable. so i posted that "just installed" message to this
newsgroup and that forum site, and accepted two useful comments in the
thread as the answer.

have you got clear and satisfied answer from above reply? ;) it seems to
me that it is tiring to ask question at here because i have to explain
more stories, hehe. :))

regards,
bbao

Found it a bit confusing myself, since this newsgroup is for Tablet PC
support. Very good on the reinstall of the drivers for the Tablet hardware,
though. 8-)
