Mouse drivers

Hi - I'd like to get a Dell mouse driver that allows the scroll wheel to be used as a double click button.  Where can I get this?  Thanks.

    The Intelli mouse software works with Microsoft Branded Mice.

    The Logitech Software works with lots of others.  Microsoft Does not allow download of the Software.

    Logitech does.

    Microsoft Corporation

    Note that Vista and WIN7 are not supported

    Mouseware 9.79. is the current version.
    Usually Ships Within 24 Hours
    Manufacturer Part# P58-00022
    Dell Part# A0488451
    Connectivity Technology: Wired

    The M/N: M-SBF90, M-SBF83 is typical of a Dell Rebranded mouse.

    If your mouse was made by Logitech for Dell, you may want to  try Logitech's free Setpoint software, but it may not allow you to set the option you want.

    In that case UberOptions for Setpoint will set things Logitiech software alone doesn't do.

    I've been using UberOptions for years and it amazes me that -after all these years- somebody else can make my Logitech mouse do exactly what I want, but Logitech can't/won't.

    uberOptions works with SetPoint 4.80 currently. You can get it from the FTP link:
    [ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/mouse/setpoint480.exe] (32-bit)
    [ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/mouse/setpoint480_x64.exe] (64-bit)

    The current uberOptions does work with SetPoint 6.00+ mostly, you just have to specify the new locations of the files uberOptions needs to install.
    On 32-bit XP, to install uberOptions 4.80.5 on SetPoint 6.00, the folders for the installer were:
    C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LogiShrd\SetPointP\Devices

    On 64-bit Windows 7, the folders are:
    C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP
    C:\ProgramData\LogiShrd\SetPointP\Devices

    The locations may be different in Vista/Windows 7 32-bit. I don't have an ETA for when uberOptions will directly support SetPoint 6.00; I recommend sticking with SetPoint 4.80 for now.

    I'm still using Setpoint 2.40 and UberOptions with XP, and it works fine so I never bothered to update to Setpoint 4.80, if that's of any help.
