does it require software download to use? I'm on a work issued laptop and they do not allow us to download any software.

When you plug the usb adapter, it will automatically search for the Microsoft Mouse. I have the same issue, just can't view the Microsoft Mouse Suite tools (i.e. how to adjust scrolling speed and other items) but it should still work as it is a mouse and uses the USB port. On a home computer, it will search for the software automatically and install on your machine, it's a nice tool to have, but necessary as OS already incorporates the mouse I/O with it. Good luck, hope you have as much efficiency with it as I do!

Mine did not. I have used it both on a Mac and in a PC. Neither required a software download.

From what I have seen.. it really doesnt need anything more than a working drive..if you could either remove the laptop drive or be able to access it .. from another source.. just like dumping to a USB.. It would seem to work.. yes. The device is very very simple to operate and from the source it walks you through the download.

Your computer must find the software. It doesn't come with any. Your computer should automatically find the driver on the web. Hope this helps...

My initial answer would be 'yes', since it is hardware activated, not software. The only real answer for that question would have to come from Creative Labs, though. When I plug it in there is no software that I have to utilize. It is plug-and-play.After looking at previous posts, from other users, I had not considered the driver software. Contact Creative Labs.

Try it without the software at the present time I am using it on a Windows 7 64 bit. But I did have it on a Windows 8.1 64 bit OS and it worked fine!

I had downloaded this at purchase. You should be able to download the file from another computer put it in a flash drive then install. You do need internet access for activation though.

Yes it comes with software you have to load onto your computer. Otherwise it won't work.

I would say you probably need the pc download. It's because you have an HP and not a "Mac" or "i" computer. Those are Mac downloads.

Hi, Thank you for the question. Our systems will not come with any Office software installed. We install only legal versions of W7 Professional on it. Thank you, Jason

I installed it without adding new software, I have video software already on the computer and import using that. My computer is a HP and it works fine.

I did not download any software. I just put the usb connection into my computer, then the coby. I downloaded music I had put into my computer. No software needed.

Yes, very easy to use. Just plug it in and turn on your computer. No software driver to install.
