Hi David,
since you said you bought a few iMacs, try the mouse first without any
drivers on a virgin iMac, if that works, then reinstall those which you
had exposed to the drivers for that mouse.
All procedures you describe seem to me pretty standard out of the box
and work on my mighty mouse (at home), a M$ mouse and a Dell mouse (at
work) - I don't leave my mighty mouse at work, otherwise it might find
another owner. Could anybody tell me why a three button mouse on M$ XP
does not work with the scroll wheel e.g. in the Explorer thingy ?
In general before ever installing any drivers, plug the device in first
and see if it is recognized, if not then you can still go ahead and
install drivers. The only thing that was not recognized immediately in
my case was a Nikon Firewire Slide Scanner, I was kind of dissapointed
by that, as I had to get the CD out of the envelope and actually install
something.

Dear All,
Sorry for the slightly off-topic subject.
We have recently bought a few iMacs for crystallography. I'm not keen on
the supplied "mighty mouse" so I have switched to using a microsoft
3-button wheel mouse. I would like to configure it so that it behaves as
it would with other unix systems such as RH Linux.
i.e.
(1) double-clicking with LH button on a file name selects ALL of the
file name, not just up to the first full stop.
(2) clicking the scroll wheel pastes the selected text AND it can be
done multiple times without re-selecting.
(2) I would like these functions to work in terminal windows, the ccp4i
gui and web pages (and probably a few other things I haven't thought of
yet!) AND be able to transfer the selected text between applications.
I have installed the microsoft intellipoint drivers that seem to give
more control over configuring the various buttons through "system
preferences", but I still can't get what I want.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Dave Lawson
