Vista - Logitech Wheel Mouse Double-Click

Logitech Wheel Mouse Double-Click

How do I get Vista to see my simple Logitech optical wheel mouse click using
the wheel? Being able to set the wheel click to a double click is VERY
useful, and the Microsoft driver does not appear to even know about a wheel
click.

I downloaded the Logitec site mouse driver and installed it, but Vista seems
to be paranoid about letting me change drivers - so paranoid, I can't even
figure out how.

I'm pretty good with XP, but this Vista is a new beast..

Thanks

RE: Logitech Wheel Mouse Double-Click

Lloyd,

Hardware not functioning properly is almost always caused by driver
problems. Most likely there is something incompatible between the Logitech
mouse and Vista. When you try to install a driver, it must be Vista
compatible, or Vista may not allow it to be installed.

The easiest solution is to buy a Microsoft mouse until compatibility issues
become resolved. I'm not using a Microsoft mouse (off brand), but even so
Device Manager identifies it as a Microsoft mouse. When you buy a mouse,
make sure it is Vista compatible, but even then it may have issues because
vendors are having problems getting their hardware to be compatible.

The secret is: Logitech has not provided a driver yet, and Microsoft does not
support the wheel click even though they know it's a logitec wheel mouse -
too bad.. It is very handy.
