Sounds like you are using one of those serial mouse to PS/2 port
adapters. I don't know enough about the electrical specifications to
know if that adapter should even work, but mine never did. I tried
several mice, adapters, and settings and finally ended up buying a
real PS/2 mouse. The new mouse works perfectly, all three buttons
function, I freed up a serial port and there is less confusion about
protocol, MS = Micro$ or MouseSystems.....
If I were you, I'd just buy a real 3 button PS/2 mouse. You'll be
time and money ahead.
