Hi Lisa,

I just did a Google search.  You have posted some other places about this.
;-) 

One of the problems I have with Logitech mouse drivers is that you can't
tell them what mouse you have.  The drivers identify the mouse automatically
and those are the only options you have.  So you are never going to get
anywhere when it identifies your mouse as a two button.  Make sure you mouse
is physically plugged in correctly and firmly.  Unplug it and plug it back
in.  Jiggle it a little and make sure it fits well.  

>From a little research, it looks like the 9.75 mouse drivers still support
webwheel.  What I would do, is uninstall the mouse drivers from the control
panel.  Then, extract the 9.75 drivers or the original drivers with
something like winzip and look at the individual files, especially those for
your operating system.  Search your computer for every file in the driver
set.  If you find a file that is in the driver set, delete it.  It may be
that your driver installation isn't replacing newer files.  If you feel like
you are able, you could do a registry search for Logitech and delete all the
entries about the mouse.  Then start again.  Either reinstall the original
drivers or the 9.75 drivers.  If you don't have those you can find them by
doing a Google search for  mw975enu.exe .

In that mw975... file there is a read me that has some troubleshooting tips.
You might take a look at it.

Be very sure you know what you are deleting before you push the button. 

I don't know why the Logitech drivers are mis-identifying your mouse.  The
two button mouse property page is the default when it can't figure what
mouse you have.  If it is an older model, you could have a mouse about to
fail.

I re-installed the newest drivers again- the ones that don't include the
webwheel. I noticed something. All of the older drivers that used to work
only have 3 tabs under mouse properties. None of those tabs let you select a
two button or four button mouse. They used to. There is no Device Setup
option on any of the older drivers anymore. The newer driver has the Device
Setup and more than three tabs under Mouse Properties. No webwheel, though.
Oh well. When I first got the mouse a few years ago and installed the
software, it showed a picture of my mouse. Now if I install the software it
shows a two button mouse, with no place to change it to my mouse. Every
other driver except 9.79 did the same thing. How can that be? Could they
have done something so if you uninstall and reinstall the mouse the old
drivers won't work anymore?
