annoying message

My Logitech optical cordless mouse is working great fror a year,but lately I get a message upon start up that the drivers are not installed. How can I eliminate that message? I did insert the cd & re-install the drivers but XP is still not happy.

Did you try a fresh set of batteries?

Logitech has great support and I think they have a 2 or 3 year warranty. I'd contact them for a solution and chances are they would replace the mouse for free if they think it's defective.

You do not even need drivers if all you need is 2 buttons and a scroll wheel - the default Windows generic mouse drivers provide that functionality.

That's what I'm using, the XP drivers but I want to get rid of the annoying "new hardware found" message on start-up.

That's what I did but it kept discovering the Logitech mouse and asking for drivers. I solved the problem by deleting the Logitech mouse and when it rebooted & asked for drivers I installed it as a regular PS2 mouse(even though it's cordless),XP installed the generic drivers and all seems well. Thanks guys for your help.
