Thanks Ubrales, I had tried that route several times, apparently the mouse is sold under Dell logo and made by Logitech for Dell, the problem with that is neither provides support for the mouse (each manufacturer not wanting to provide support for the mouse, VERY IRRITATING) so I found a solution (finally) thru BlueSoliel at http://www.bluesoleil.com/products/ProductCatalog.aspx?type=soft&id=1. Its a free download if you agree to download a free product (in my case 7-Zip). My mouse now works like a charm.
Thanks again,
