Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 problem

OK, so I'm trying to install the correct mouse software and drivers for
this mouse. Basically the problem is, before I moved my computer desk
downstairs, I could use the Mouse control panel to setup the Middle
button on this device as Double click.

Now, the latest Intellipoint (5.5) doesn't even have an entry for this
mouse! the P/N off the label is X06-25120 So I'm sure this is an MS
mouse.
None of the selections look like this mouse, and the Doubleclick setting
won't act as doubleclicking. if I set it to Doubleclick, it acts as the
Middle button in browsers, starting the Autoscroll.

I've downloaded the earlier Intellipoint software, should I be using the
4.12 with this older mouse? Any other points on how to restore the
middle button custom mapping?
Thanks much in advance!
 
Seems 5.5 is pretty good software,however,5.0 has more options and was
stable,you can download from microsoft/downloads.
 
The Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 is not a supported mouse in Intellipoint 5.5.
If memory serves correctly, the last version of Intellipoint to support IME
3.0 was 5.0 (or 5.2)
 
I use the older 4.12 software for both my intelipoint 2 and intelipoint 3
mice. IIRC intelipoint 5 has generic support for IM3 not specific support. I
found it not as good as earlier versions. Is there any reason why you want
to use the later software?
