MicroSoft Mouse

May 05, 2004 6 Replies

I just got a MicroSoft mouse that has three buttons but won't map the middle thumbwheel to the middle mouse function. Does anybody have a workaround for this?



assuming its an intellipoint like mine then bring up mouse properties/wheel/wheel troubleshooter/advanced and add SW there

You'll need IntelliPoint version 4.x or lower as Microsoft has removed some of the customization options from 5.X making it almost unusable in SolidWorks.

Have you installed Intellipoint 4.X or older?

troubleshooter.

It turns out that if I just uninstall the "#$%^&*Point" driver XP treats it as a HID mouse and the middle mouse button works.
