    old Microsoft mouse, middle click problem


    Hello,
    I've got an old Microsoft optical wheel mouse which I like very much, but it's middle-click function doesn't work right, apparently. I've got a program called "Ninjatrader 8" which trades the stock market (futures market, technically) and this software requires a certain type of action where you place a trade by holding down the ctrl key and tapping the middle mouse button. For some reason, my mouse won't do what's required. The scroll wheel (what functions as a middle mouse button) will indeed click, meaning it goes up and down, but it apparently doesn't do the required action in the program I'm running. What I'm wondering, and hoping someone here can help me with, is to figure out how to configure this mouse so it will do what's required. I've downloaded Microsoft's "mouse and keyboard center 2.8" and when I run it, it says, "No supported device detected." Rats. Am I just out of luck, or is there something else I can try to get this mouse to activate it's middle-click? Not sure this'll help, but on the back of the mouse it says, P/N X802382. I assume that's the part number?
    Thanks,


    :)

    Windows 10, Taskbar freezing frequently

    Okay, I had very similar issues to this and after much investigation it turned out to be a bad mouse - specifically a bad mouse button on the middle button/scroll wheel.

    Symptoms for me were:

    - Inability to click in the taskbar/start menu/notification area

    - Most applications would not respond except the one I was using at the time

    - Chrome tabs would close themselves when clicking on them (holding middle click and left clicking a tab is a shortcut to close tabs)

    Using keyboard shortcuts would work perfectly (alt-tab, windows key for start menu (but clicking in the start menu would obviously not work))

    Turns out Windows would assume the middle mouse button was stuck down when it may or may not be. Even unplugging the mouse in this mode is not a solution - Windows still thinks the button is down.

    If you don't have another mouse to try, clicking the middle mouse button when the issue occurs might let Windows know the middle mouse button is released. Microsoft should consider a way to detect this and alert the user! Say after the middle mouse button
    has been down for an excessive period. Bit of of a tough one...
