When I go looking for a mouse driver the MS website guides me to the
Intellipoint software. Are you saying that windows update would update the
mouse driver for a wheelmouse?

  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

      Automatic software updates
      IntelliPoint software periodically checks for software updates when an
Internet connection is detected. If an update is available, a notification
dialog box appears giving you the option to update the software and to turn
off the automatic update feature.

      Note
      If you do not want to be automatically notified of software updates,
you can visit the Microsoft Mouse Web site periodically to see if updates
are available.


    Did you note if the URL being accessed is

      I just got a nifty Microsoft Trackball Explorer and installed the
      Intellipoint 4.1 software. To my surprise Outpost caught Point32.exe
trying
      to phone home to Microsloth on Port 80. Any ideas on why M$ is
radioing
      home? Kinda pisses me off. Fortunately Outpost allows you to block
      everything from Intellipoint 4.1
