Extra mouse buttons

i just got a laser intellimouse explorer and it's got the 2 side buttons that i cant seem to configure.

i go to control panel->mouse and i see no options on setting these buttons.

i remember back in win 98 when i could do this, but i have xp pro now.

You prolly need the software that came with the mouse to use them. I have a wireless logitech trackman, and it has foward/back buttons on it, but if the I-Touch program isnt running, they dont work.

Did you install the software(if any) that came with your mouse?

actually, nothing came w/ it. it was OEM (yes i'm cheap).

the buttons work w/ ie, as back and forward, but not in general windows.

also i can set 'em up in games.

You can download the enhanced drivers from Microsoft. The package you need is called IntelliPoint.

even without the intellipoint software, they should do forward and back in windows explorer too. at least mine do. picture/fax viewer as well - and others i'm sure

i think forward and back are the most useful anyway, and you don't need more fancy drivers installed

I would install the ms drviers. With those you can have custom button settings for programs, like games etc. Pretty cool feature. One of the main things i miss about them.

Windows 2000 and XP should recognize the extra buttons by default. The IntelliPoint software will allow you to reprogram the buttons.

If you're using a KVM switch it might interfere with the buttons. I have a Logitech MX-500 connected to a KVMP (via USB) and the forward/back buttons work fine, however the two extra "scroller" buttons near the scroll wheel won't work. It's an issue with the KVMP switch.
