Does anyone know where I can download this from?

I have the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 and the extra buttons only seem to work with Version 4 of Intellipoint. I downloaded the newest version (5.1) and it doesnt recognize the extra buttons. What kind of company makes software that doesnt support older models?

Anyways Im running Tiger. If anyone knows how to get the other buttons to work I would love the advice!

Thanks.

I figured out how to get it to work. I downloaded USB OVERDRIVE and now all the buttons work.

Seems stupid that M$ would build an app that doesnt support its older models. I guess thats M$ for ya.

FWIW....I have an Intelimouse Explorer 1.0 that works fine with the current drivers. All buttons recognized. I hate M$ but I do love my four or five year old mouse. I don't know why it won't work on your setup. Be careful, I've heard that USB Overdrive can be the cause of some problems. If strange things start happening that might be the first place you want to look. Good luck and I hope everything continues to go smooth for you.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
