I just purchased a HP Pavilion with Windows 7 software. Microsoft Intellipoint 8.2 software was loaded onto my machine during PC setup. I am unable to switch the primary and secondary keys using the original mouse that came with the PC. The entire "mouse properties" buttons tab options are protected and I am unable to switch "primary" and "secondary" configuration on the "buttons" tab which is what I normally do when using a computer. Also, screen gives the message that "no device is detected". The solution given is to install a version of the Microsoft Intellipoint software prior to version 8, however, when I go to the Microsoft download and drivers website the only version offered for Windows 7 is the Intellipoint 8.2 version. Is there a previous version available for download that will work with my Windows 7 -64 bit operating system?

If Microsoft Intellipoint 8.2 software was loaded during setup just uninstall the Microsoft Intellipoint software using "Uninstall a program" and then you should be able to switch the mouse buttons.
Microsoft Intellipoint software is not needed for basic mouse functions and does not appear to work with non-Microsoft mice.
