Mouse problems

I recently switched by 2-button PS/2 mouse for a 3-button mouse, for obvious blender-related reasons, but Windoze still thinks I have a 2-button mouse installed.

I ran a test program to check, and it specifically said “2-button mouse”

Any ideas?

It’s on a laptop and there is a touch-dot mouse on the keyboard which “shares” the mouse port with the external mouse - either can control the pointer - and it has only 2 buttons. Could this be the problem?

Yeah, I think that’s the problem Maybe you should uninstall that mouse and then test the other mouse. Oh, and I’ve got a 5 button mouse.

Well I downloaded a driver off the website - despite the fact that it uses the standard windoze drivers according to the box - and it works now.

It thinks it’s a wheel mouse, but it works.
