I have tried to solve the problem of installing the Mouse & Keyboard Center software by following all but one of the steps on Microsoft’s support page, “Troubleshoot installing Intellipoint, Intellitype, or LifeCam software,” which, despite the title, seems to apply to this software too. The error message I get when trying to install it is “Setup cannot install this software because your computer does not meet the system requirements.” Moskovitch informed Microsoft about it and it was fixed in an update.I can’t update Microsoft’s Mouse & Keyboard Center to v.11.1 for 64 bit. The vulnerable package was available for nearly a month on the official Microsoft website. Most are still supported in the latest corresponding versions of IntelliType Pro and IntelliPoint.Īccording to Ofir Moskovitch, a security researcher, Microsoft released Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center 3.2.116 with major cryptographic security issues, including Hash Collision Vulnerability. Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center supports USB devices it does not support (automatically detect and configure) PS/2, Bluetooth, and some older USB devices, as detailed in the following sections. It allows for reassignment of buttons and keys, as well as recording macros and additional functionality like a screen magnifier, and pointer precision enhancer ( DPI changer). When the program is launched after installation it will automatically detect the user's compatible mice and keyboards if they are connected to the PC. 32- and 64-bit versions of the software are available, and the program integrates with Windows 8 and above's " Modern UI" interface.



Whereas Microsoft mice and Microsoft keyboards were previously controlled from two separate programs – IntelliPoint and IntelliType – the Mouse and Keyboard Center is responsible for both kinds of devices.
