Guest berander Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I'm probably just plain stupid - when I try uninstalling the driver the uninstaller prompts me to replace the Alps driver w. some other mousedriver before letting me uninstall... How did you do this? Else I think installing as Admin is the right way.
