unzip it first, then tell us if you have exe, inf, or other file extensions.

The the files must contain an INF file. It's installed by using ADD NEW HARDWARE in Control Panel. Redirect the installation to the folder where you unzipped the file too. Just follow the screen prompts until finished.

USB mouse files are included with the OS (whatever OS you have installed, the mouhid files come with it). You don't install them, the OS does it for you automatically during detection of the device. If it fails to do so then you have a problem.... ie: no OS files (these are most likely compressed within driver.cab). driver.cab is on any XP installation disk and also written to the hard drive by default during installation of the OS. or the usb port is not working properly. or the mouse is defective.

It helps when asking for help, to say what OS you are running.
