A: Most mice (mouses?) don't require a cd to install if you are using Window 7 or later. Just plug the mouse in and let the windows software do its own thing. If you want a gaming mouse with a lot of extra buttons, you may need to obtain a portable CD drive which plugs into a USB outlet. I recommend a CD read/write so you can burn CDs as well. If your touchpad gives you problems with accidental touches, you can disable it in the device manager. go to My Computer then System Properties then Device Manager. enjoy
