  Windows update would handle the drivers in Windows.  The IntelliPoint =
software is not that.

  Why wouldn't that be handled by the Windows Update site (drivers)?

       It sounds like the following feature which I found described in =
the online help

      I just got a nifty Microsoft Trackball Explorer and installed the
      Intellipoint 4.1 software. To my surprise Outpost caught =

radioing
