Intillimouse 4.1 can't remove

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I tried to uninstall Intellimouse 4.1, using add remove programs, there are
two options; change and remove.

If I use change, it flags this messages:

Win2k INF Uninstall error: "GetPrivateProfilesString() failed" MS_MFG
Section , click Ok.
then another error: Win2k INF Uninstall error: "C:\\Program
Files\\Microsoft Hardware\\Mouse\\ipf ilter.inf" , click Ok
Add Remove Programs "Fatal error during installation"

If I use remove:

"Error 1326. Error getting file security C:\Program Files\GetLastError:5"
Click Ok
Add Remove Programs "Fatal error during installation"

Why I'm uninstalling, because Intellimouse 4.1 became inoperable and I want
upgrade to 4.2 or 5.2, to work with my Intellimouse Explorer

Thanks for your help

Try going to downloads at microsoft,locate the software for intellimouse,
its been at 5.0 for 2 yrs now.After install,reboot,try uninstalling,5.0 is
more
stable than the 4.1 was.

I just did it, but it tries to uninstall 4.1 first with results that I
posted before.
Thanks anyway.

Try removing these registry values and then install the new 5.2 drivers.

Click Start-Run-Type regedit and click OK. Expand to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Microsoft Input Devices\WindowsPointer

Delete FastPointer, MouseKey, MouseKeyJump, MouseKeyFeedback, and if
there is nothing left after deleting these other values, delete the
WindowsPointer key too.
