MS 3 button Scroll IntelliMouse Question

[sonicworld]

I recently reloaded the OS on my computer (98) and I can't seem to remember how to get Windows to recognize the 3 button scroll mouse. When I open the mouse configuration screen it only recognizes and shows the 2 button mouse. When I open the update drivers screen, the 3 button version doesn't seem to be listed. I would have thought Windows 98 would automatically recognize the MS scroll mouse and load the correct drivers. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks!

You need to download the driver for that mouse from ms or pop the cd in that came with the mouse

Thanks! There is no driver available at MS website...can you believe it? At least not for Windows 98, as they require you select "OS used" as part of driver search. But I found scroll button works, so I guess I'm okay.

For microsoft mice, the recommended mouse driver/software program is Microsoft Intellipoint software. I'm not sure if you are using it. I recommend getting it if you don't because it provides some other mouse options.
