175635 2003-09-16 01:08:00 Using XP OS and 2-button mouse. Clicking on RH button brings up a grid of options (none of which are useful) if pointing at Desktop, C Drive icon etc. instead of desired "Properties". Mouse Properties is one of the grid items and when this is followed up shows RH button allocated to "Lucky Jump". There are some options that would apparently replace "Lucky Jump" but none of these are "Properties".

How can I:
a) replace "Lucky Jump" with "Properties",
OR failing that:
b) find the properties of component (e.g. Desktop for altering Resolution, Screen Saver etc.)

Start - Control Panel - Mouse

175637 2003-09-16 01:26:00 Sounds like you've got a Mouse overlay type program?

I don't think in XP there's an option to change what the mouse buttons do without another program altering it.

If you've got a mouse driver/program/software installed, uninstall it, remove your mouse from XP and reinstall it.

175638 2003-09-19 03:32:00 Thanks Kame. You were right on. There was an overlay program that took over the mouse operation and set itself as default. Once this was deleted the underlying "normal" mouse program took over and Right clicking brought up the desired menu.

Incidentally, I found that I could get to "Properties" for most components by selecting and then Alt+Enter.

To remove it, its in Add/Remove Programs as A4Tech iWheelworks.

It will still keep the driver :-)
