Thanx in advance.
Sounds like you are using one of those serial mouse to PS/2 port adapters. I don't know enough about the electrical specifications to know if that adapter should even work, but mine never did. I tried several mice, adapters, and settings and finally ended up buying a real PS/2 mouse. The new mouse works perfectly, all three buttons function, I freed up a serial port and there is less confusion about protocol, MS = Micro$ or MouseSystems..... If I were you, I'd just buy a real 3 button PS/2 mouse. You'll be time and money ahead.
