Windows XP Mouse Middle Button

[RufusW]

Hey guys, I hope this is an easy one, been googling for a while, can't find the answer

When I press the middle (scroll) button on my mouse it switches between running programs. However, I do not want it to do this, I use Firefox and there's options to use the middle button to open/close tabs etc.

So, any idea how I turn off this function, it's starting to bug me... have looked in control panel, doesn't show this function...

any help much appreciated

Hmmm, strange ... did not have to do anything with any of mine ... just press the middle button and I get a new tab.

ah, now then ... that is in Linux and works with no problems ... I just tried my Windows box and I cannot get it to work.

I have a Logitech Mouseman Wheel mouse and I cannot get Windows to "see" the correct mouse ... and so it thinks there is no middle button.

ah-ha, the KVM switch is interfering with Windows's ability to see the mouse correctly ... or should I rephrase that and say Logitech's software does not "see" the correct mouse ... ha, good job I don't use Windows.

it should be under the mouse settings in the control panel if not then you may have some additional software maybe ?

Dunno ...

But as I said, in Linux I can use, or not, the middle button ... now here's the rub, my Logitech MX700 is automatically installed in Linux, Windows don't know what I have and I ain't swapping it over for the Mouseman.

I cannot get Windows to detect and use the correct mouse ... and I have even tried the original drivers, it used to work before.

What mouse & what are the drivers?
