Hi I had the mouse set as a PS2 3 button mouse
and it was working fine, but I altered it in the
mouse control panel to a wheel mouse so I could
use the wheel... But now it just sits in the top right
hand corner of the screen and it wont move. How
can i change it back to 3 button mouse? Is there a
key I can press to bring up the mouse control
panel? Or where is the config file and what do i
need to alter it to? Thanks
