   Yes.  There is quite a bit more than just that.

   The download package is larger than just the software (which is more =
than just the driver) because it contains quite a bit.  Much of this is =
online help and other documentation.

  so the part of Intellipoint software that makes the wheel work with =
older
  windows apps is something you consider different than a driver?

  I know it contains extra stuff, that's why it's 10mb..

     I'm saying that Windows Update does not update software like the
  IntelliPoint software.  Windows Update does update the mouse drivers =
that
  are included in Windows.  Personally, I don't use the IntelliPoint =
software
  because Windows includes the functionality to support my IntelliPoint =
mouse
  and keyboard.  The IntelliPoint software contains more than that.

      Windows update would handle the drivers in Windows.  The =

           It sounds like the following feature which I found described =
