Help with my intellimouse explorer 3.0A

I have been having problems with this for months and am finally asking it
here. First, in the release of the 5.2 drivers, why is my mouse not listed?
Second, after using the 4.0 as my device since it is the closest. My small
thumb button does not work for close or exit program. It works for the
default Forward, and that seems to be about it. So, I went back to the 4.12
drivers, and then everytime I started my computer it would not work unless I
opened the mouse control panel and closed it again. No, I did not have to
click apply or anything, I just had to open the window. Now thinking this was
and OS problem, I figured I would just reinstall the OS and it would be fine.
But noooo, it still is the same. If the forward didn't work for it, I would
just accept the fact that the mouse was going bye bye. So if anyone can help
me with this problem, you can help me by sending an answer to
outlawspitNOSPAM@hotmail.com and be sure to remove the NOSPAM. I will not be
able to look back here for a while since I am going for the clean reinstall
again, because if one thing goes wrong like this, my anal brain makes me
start over.

Thanks,

Matt

Intellimouse explorer is listed at microsoft hardware home page,if you run
xp SP2,try going to run,type:services.msc In msc,scroll to windows installer,
double click,set it to auto from manual,then start the service.Also,youre
step
before this should be,microsoft downloads,scroll to intellimouse,then select
and download software version 5.0,while 5.2 is newer,it doesnt seem to run
as stable as 5.0.Also,make sure installer pops-up as youre installing
software,
if it doesnt,its not running....
