SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to install the Microsoft IntelliPoint 1.0, 1.1, or 3.0 mouse software, the following error message appears:

Setup cannot continue. This software runs with the Microsoft Windows 3.x operating system. Contact Microsoft Customer Service for an upgrade to run with later versions of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Windows NT operating systems.

NOTE: This error message no longer appears when you install IntelliPoint 3.0 or later on Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 or later. Also, both the mouse pointer and keyboard may stop working if you are using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) version of the Microsoft IntelliMouse and it is plugged into the keyboard.



CAUSE
