I'm having huge issues with my Intellimouse Explorer. In Black and White and Warcraft 3 hitting any button other than left or right click causes the mouse button to be "locked down" only within that game or disable left click. Under other programs like Finder it operates normally.

HELP!

Are you using the drivers it came with? When it comes to mice, I rarely use the drivers they include as they usually just put an abstraction layer over Apple's built-in drivers, and usually this causes problems with certain games.

Actually installing the drivers fixed my problem. :-\
