Hi,

I recently acquired a new 8 button mouse (ione lynx p3) from someone who had no use for it. It says on the box "no drivers required for windows XP" so i plugged it in and it went through the whole found new hardware etc. and then it told me it was ready to use. But it didn't work not even the movement. So i deferred back to my old 3 button mouse which worked fine, or so I thought.

Now when I click the middle mouse button (using my 3 button mouse) My Documents pops up in explorer. I've tried updating the drivers and reinstalling them but no change. It's not so much the middle mouse button but the middle click function because in Logitech Setpoint, when I change the function of the middle button to something else (i.e. minimize, do nothing, start menu, etc.) it works fine for it's assigned function but not for the middle click function. This is quite frustrating as I use Autocad and REVIT where the middle button is essential for panning and rotating. I run XP sp3.

ThanksYou did make a restore point? Of course you did. Everybody does that before install of anything knew.
Just go back to the point before you did that.
It is in ACCESSORIES > System Tools > System Restore.Ummm... I can't remember when I did my last one. If i said I didn't do one could there be any other solutions. I will have to wait till I get home to check it.I you OFTEN turn you computer off and on, there will be several points for that past two weeks.System restore worked!!
