I have this ancient optical mouse from who knows when, made by IBM. I've looked, looked, looked some more, but I can't find the drivers for it. The IBM site directs me somewhere else which wants me to buy stuff. The model number is MO28BO. Eeek!
I googled "MO28BO", followed the first result. Ended up on driverguide.com, registered and downloaded.
I uploaded here so you don't have to go through a heap of registering crap (file size is 6.4mb): http://www.clananthrax.net/other/IBMMouseSuite.zip
They don't work :/.
Strange, it clearly states (http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=214850) that model first in the list. :-\
It appears to just be a mouse suite. The device information is:
Device Type: Mice and other pointing devices
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Location: on USB Scroll Mouse (HID)
Which was the same before I installed the items you directed me to. The driver information is unchanged as well.
Windows most likely already has drivers for it. Have you tried plugging it in and rebooting?

Every time I reboot, I have to get up, go around to the rear of my computer, unplug it, plug it into a diffrent USB port, and wiggle it by pulling on the cord. Very annoying.

It sounds more like your ancient device is a faulty. The required "wiggling" of the cord should have been your first clue. I'd invest in a new mouse.
The wiggleing is to move the mouse so the eye responds to something, and I must do this during the USB dectection phase of Win2k starting up.
