Mouse won't retain settings

I'm using (and am generally delighted with) Microsoft's Wheel Mouse Optical
USB. Problem: I like my Wheel Button to function as the BACK button ... easy
to set that way, and a great help surfing the 'Net. But whenever I reboot,
this setting reverts to AutoScroll. Obviously, it should stay at whatever
function it's set at, but it isn't. Once I DO set its function to BACK, it
stays that way until the next time I reboot. All indications are that I'm
using the correct, most current driver. Anybody got a clue what's preventing
it from retaining that setting? Seems like a small problem, but it's driving
me nuts. Would be VERY grateful for any suggestions. THANKS!
 
I solved a similar problem by checking "Point 32" in msconfig before
shutting down, the mouse settings were then retained. I'm using Intellipoint
5 software which has other deficiencies.
Hope it works for you.
