Windows Update doesn't recognize it?

David: sure, they both "work", but only the basic native features that can be configured using the control panel's "Mouse" applet.
The real power of these tools lies inside their bundled software, which sadly, does not install :(

Take the mouse back -- the Cordless Optical TrackMan® works on 2003. (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=products/details&CRID=6&CONTENTID=5006&countryid=19&languageid=1) I got one last week. :)

You can emulate probably just about every feature of the software with Girder. I use it for just about everything anymore. I even bought a IR device so I could teach my computer remote-control commands(for TV and DVD veiwing mostly).

I have caught word from Redmond that there may be updates for MS hardware to work with 2003 this fall. ;) I heard this a while ago, though.

Rachel: were you able to also install the mouseware software bundled with it?
