I have aquired a PC but I don't have the original instal disks for it. I seem to 
have a corrupted mouse driver and the logical thing would be to reinstall the drivers.
Since I don't have the original disks I need to download them but what do I need 
to look for?
The PC is an Acer L100 with Acer mouse and I've failed to locate one for it. Is there 
a generic driver I could use or way of identifying the driver(s) that would work.

Any advice on how to proceed appreciated
Mike

Normally deleting the mouse Drivers in the Device Manager, and rebooting is all you would need to do. If the Mouse has extra mouse Buttons or features that are not part of a standard off the shelf mouse, then visit the Acer Web site for driver Downloads.

I'll try the delete/re-boot and see what happens. The Acer web site BTW is useless from what I can see. I did email them but no reply!

Even if the mouse had some special features the basic mouse should work, like scroll wheel, and right, and left click buttons. The mouse may also just be defective, and no driver will fix that.
