Hello,

Ok so I looked all over for this but coudn't find anything. I just installed boot camp and my mouse is going crazy. It is like I am pressing the back button all the time.

For example I can't browse anywhere on the internet because just by touching my mouse it makes it go back a page, as if I hit the back button. Is this build into the 'squeeze button' on the mac mouse? because if so, I know i have a hardware problem with that function on my mouse. I actually had to disable that button in OS X because by just resting my and on the mouse expose would go NUTS. So is there a solution until i replace my mouse? Maybe a way to disable the 'squeeze button' on the mouse in XP?

The only options i saw inherintly in XP is dealing with the main two buttons, which work fine.

No 'Back button' features built into the generic HID mouse drivers for XP??

I know almost all 4-5 button mouses these days have a left side button defaultly used as a 'back button' and I know most of them come with their own drivers too, but it seems strange that the default XP drivers would have no >2 button mouse support.

Any insight short of replacing my mouse (i hope iCare replaces it)?

Thanks
