SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to obtain product information for the Microsoft IntelliMouse using the Microsoft IntelliPoint software, the following Product Identification Number (PID) may be displayed:   11111-111-1111111-11111



CAUSE
Newer models of the Microsoft IntelliMouse have the PID stamped on the bottom of the pointing device. If the IntelliPoint software displays a PID of 11111-111-1111111-11111, examine the bottom of the pointing device to obtain the correct PID.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
