Just taking a guess that www.scanport.com exists resulted in a found web
site with a driver download section. Google is also often helpful. A
Google search showed several places to find the driver. Adding the
model number significantly reduced the match count to just:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%2Bscanport+%2Bmouse+%2B%22SMT-13%22


This newsgroup is for Windows XP, not for 9-year old Windows 95. In a
news client (I'm pretty sure you have Outlook Express since you're
asking about Windows), search newsgroups for those titled with "win95"
and "windows95". If your ISP doesn't provide a news server, use
Microsoft's (msnews.microsoft.com). Since you are using Microsoft's CDO
(web) interface rather than a real news client, just click on the "+"
icon to expand the node for "Windows 95" at
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/. No searching needed to find
the Windows 95 newsgroups.

Apparently several of the links at the maker's web site are dead. That
doesn't mean the drivers aren't available. It means the web designer
screwed up by moving the files and not making the links match.
According to Network Solutions' WhoIs, their domain registration was
just updated today so it probably is not an abandoned web site. Have
you tried contacting Scanport (http://www.scanport.com/contact_idx.html)
to notify them that the links are broken and where to get the driver(s)?
