Mouse 3 button problem
This might be very easy but I can't find anything anywhere to help me out.
My mouse setup disk is not making my mouse3 button work.
I have a intelimouse (3 button w/scroll) and the setup it came with does not give you any options to configure your mouse and the driver does not install the mouse 3 button (microsoft, heh).
Any one know of where I can get either a setup utility so I can configure my mouse?

For some mice it is necessary to hold the third button down during driver init. I'm not sure if this is the case, though.

That did not work either.
Thanks.

Are you useing the serial port connection? I know I bought one of those mice, and I coulden't make it work, so i set it aside "was a good deal" but I bought a ATX style motherboard that had a PS2 connection for the mouse, hooked up the mouse again, and it worked just fine.
So if your useing the serial connector that comes with the mouse, your SOL.

I am using the PS2 port.
My problem is that I need a set=up that will enable me to configure my mouse options.
The set-up that came with it does not gibe me any of those options.

Here is a program that will let you use it:

That program is very nice.
Unfortunatly it does not detect my 3rd button, it says "3 button mouse not detected".
And I tried to make it work with possible "tweaks" to the program but theres nothing I can do.

I can't beleive this, I re-installed the whole mouse 3 times with the software it came with and it never worked.
I even tried a few othere things along the way, never thinking that the software itself might not be installing the driver.
Well it worked, thanks...now I feel like a freaking newbie, hehe.

I'm glad it finally worked for you. Nothing more frustrating when an install program doesn't work.
