Intellamouse explorer button dilema

I recently upgraded my computer to a new Dell running Win XP home.
I did this to get AutoCAD 2004LT upgrade. (ol 95 would not handle it)

Problem I have encountered is with my mouse however, it is a Microsoft
Intellamouse Explorer.
Unfortunately, Win XP wants new drivers for this mouse to be compatible. In
the updated drivers I have lost my functionality with the 2 'extra buttons'
I had the set for F8 (ortho) and F3 (osnap) toggles.
out of the long list of which to chose is only F1 and F5 available for those
buttons.

Has anyone come up with a solution / workaround for this yet, (besides
obvious hitting those keys manually).
I got so accustomed to just clicking with my thumb and not even moving my
hand off mouse. (Was great even during command)

Thanks,


Brian Spillane
 
The old software on the old computer worked fine. problem IS the new
Intellapoint 4.01 which XP requires.
It does not come with the options I need, (F8 & F3) to be set for those
buttons. It only provides F1 & F5 which
do me no good for my Cad
any other suggestions? (Posted to Cad newsgroups too but nothing there
either)
Can't believe I am the only Cad guy using this mouse !
