I keep trying to install a new mouse driver on my Win xp rig but the driver never changes. It still says the same old tired driver. Even after getting the proper driver for my razar deathadder and installing the file... its still the same shit!

I'm trying to do this because my mouse 3 button (middle mouse) isn't working at all on any mouse and I didn't realize it until I installed The Sims 2 for my wife tonight. Trying to config the mouse in the razar utility dosen't even give the option to set my mouse 3 button to "windows button 3" as you would set mouse 4 and 5 (see attached photo). Is this config right and my mouse is fucked or is something wrong with windows not detecting mouse 3?

I type a bunch of shit then people go fuk themselves

3 says "universal scrolling". i dont think thats what you want. some MFGs like to change the default funtion of the mouse wheel click and it totally ignores what it does by default. see if there's another setting that sounds like it could work

Should this be what my driver says if I've installed the razar mouse driver? I've tried adjusting the settings in the razar utility but I just don't have the ability to set mouse 3 to "middle mouse". It's gotta be a windows issue.

TRY UNINSTALLING THE RAZER DRIVERS AND DELETING THE hid MOUSE FROM DEV MANAGER AND REBOOTING, THEN INSTALLING THE RAZER DRIVER. I THINK DRIVER CLEANER OR DRIVER SWEEPER WILL FULLY REMOPVE RAZER MOUSE DRIVERS

im glad you brought this up, because i forgot.
i pulled up the razer software for my lachesis, and i cant set the middle click to be mouse button 3 either.

edit: on some research, im not quite sure what you mean by mouse 3. all of the windows functions are mouse 4 + 5... there is no mouse 3 function, thats universal scrolling.

Tell me this Chips, since you have a similar mouse. With your mouse installed does your mouse driver list as mine does in the pic I posted or does it say something else? If your driver lists as mine, does the middle mouse button work on your machine?
