You may also experience the following symptoms:
- When you enable the wheel, you receive the following error message:

If you still have difficulty changing your settings, run IntelliPoint Setup to reinstall the files, and then start IntelliPoint again.
- If you restart your computer and attempt to reinstall the IntelliPoint software, you receive the following error message:
