Microsoft Notebook optical wireless 3000

Alright, so I've had this mouse a while now. But I recently reinstalled my windows partition and it has stopped working on that partition. I plug the usb plug into the adapter and it is lit up during the GRUB loader and it works in Ubuntu, but as soon as I select boot windows xp the light turns off and windows ceases to acknowledge its existence....

If anyone has any ideas that would be great as I can't find any Drivers for it. Also, I'm going to experiment around because I just realized windows might not be recognizing my USB drives also.

here is the link to the mouse driver, you may need to update the usb controler drivers as well they came with your motherboard. do any usb devices work in windows now?
