592053 2007-09-17 21:22:00 ...so many mouse software change the middle button? All 3 of our mice had the middle button assosiated to something OTHER than middle click! (Mine was QuickView, Dad's was zoom and Mum's was LuckyJump IIRC.):yuck:

It's wierd.

592057 2007-09-18 03:44:00 I fatefully bought a new five-button mouse and I won't do that soon again!

I cannot see the info card to set it differently...but that post goes unanswered yet..and it is not resolved.

I hate the two side buttons, I am always accidentally hitting the "page forward" one and messing up what I am trying to read or view.

We do indeed from time to time make these errors of judgment,with luck we learn from them.

592061 2007-09-18 06:02:00 I love my A4 Tech 5-Button Dual-Scroll wheel mouse...

But whenever I install the software (after the latest windows reinstall :lol:), the default action of the middle button is "Pan" - and I have to change it to "middle button"

I don't care, but it's just a weird default
