Re: three button mice on windows and macs

Hi Bakki,

Oh, I am able to get all three mouse buttons. It is just that middle  
and right button are swapped when I use the same image once on the PC  
and once on the Mac. And I can even change that if I go to  
preferences every time I switch. I just want to find out how I can  
avoid that inconvenience :) Basically the default mapping on windows  
and mac to the buttons of a 3-button mouse seems to be different, at  
least with the mice that I have. Can anyone confirm that with his  
mice perhaps or give me pointers where to fix this?
