Default Usable driver for Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 in Win98SE?

Does anyone know of a driver that will allow me to make better use of the
buttons in W98SE on an MS Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 (wireless optical)
mouse?

It's part of the Wireless Optical Desktop Pro package. I have several
machines connected through a Belkin switchbox, including this Win98SE
machine and one running DOS 6.22/Win3.1. It sure would be nice to be able
to use some of the buttons on the mouse with them, but I'd settle for just
the W98 box.

I've tried installing several packages so far:
Intellipoint 5.2 and 5.1 won't install at all
4.12 and 4.1 install, but the cursor jumps downscreen when you approach any
button

Any help appreciated!

Kensington Mouseworks leaves Intellipoint in the dust:

but I use it on a wired 5-button Intellimouse. The description mentions
several limitations to the software, but, whether by design or oversight,
running a wireless mouse is not one of them. The software allows you to
independently program all buttons for each program you use, so there is no
limit to how the mouse is set up for any program, except for the overall
five button capacity. I've used it on 98SE and WS2K - it works beautifully.
