Nope, the same thing does not apply to mice.  Windows has its own mouse
drivers built-in - no need for DOS drivers that wouldn't work within
Windows anyway.  If your Logitech mouse isn't working right, the drivers
are wrong, or the mouse doesn't work right to begin with.

My suggestion to you is to try a different mouse.  They are not all
created equal.  I've run into dozens of people who use El-Cheapo mice
who complain about dead mice, badly tracking mice, etc.  I have them
plug in a Microsoft Basic Mouse, and all is well, forever.

Best regards,
