Trackball Explorer Button Assign Problem

[Guest]

I've used my Trackball Explorer under Windows Me & now am using it under Win XP. While using it with Win Me, I was able to assign the "close" function to one of the buttons. Now that I've upgraded to Win XP and to version 5 of Intellimouse (the older version of Intellimouse said it wouldn't work under Win XP), now I can't get the "close" function to work on all programs anymore. I've assigned it to the topmost button next to the scroll wheel and it will only close some programs, but not all of them. And the weird thing is, it makes Winamp disappear and when I click it again, it reappears. Strange! Anybody know what's going on here and if it's something that's wrong with version 5 of Intellimouse? I've hooked the mouse up to both the PS/2 port and a USB port

Version 5 has had "features" stripped out of it.

I had the same experience. I Googled for version 4.12 after reading
about the problems that everyone else had, installed 4.12 and
everything is fine now.
