I had to replace the mouse on an old Packard Bellmouse. The system is Windows 98 and with th replacement mouse the right button does not function. I get a message to find the correct driver but I can't. Is there any place I can find the new driver?

If the manufacturer is shown on the label of the new mouse, their web site should have the driver.

Also, one of my favorite sites is http://www.software.drivers.com/ which has thousands of driver files. The disadvantage is that you have to register to get in.

If you're not comfortable giving your personal information just to get one file, then you can try http://www.drivershq.com/mainhome.html which is also a pretty good site.

Good fortune,
Don

You might just need to remove the old mouse from device manager, and allow windows to re-install the native mouse driver.

It has worked for me numerous times.
