Upgraded wireless mouse and middle button misbehaves

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Is this a Microsoft mouse? Intellipoint 5 software has features that do not
work, or were removed. You will have to un-install 5 and re-install 4.12 to
has the ones you want. Or you can wait for MS to release a revised version
of 5 (????).
