Do I need mouse drivers?
Question:Do I need mouse drivers?
Answer:Drivers Today's operating systems no
longer require drivers for
standard mouse interoperability. Therefore, if your computer has a
standard one or two button mouse and you are using an operating system developed within the last three years, you don't need to
install any drivers and it is very unlikely that your mouse will
have any driver updates available.
- Users who need to get their mouse to work in MS-DOS please see
document CH00007.
- If you have a standard mouse that is not working see our mouse help page for additional troubleshooting steps in finding out the problem.
Software
Although drivers are not necessary, if you have a mouse with additional features, e.g. extra buttons, trackball, or other special features. You will need to download the software for that mouse in order for that mouse to properly work or for all the features to work and/or be changed.
