I just finished going through a similar problem but it was one getting the 3rd button recognized. I have four mice that I tried to use. Two of them were HP mice by Logitech. They were PS/2 mice. I had a mouse with a PS/2 to db9 converter. These mice mostly had switches that were activated at power up time. None of them worked in one mode or another. I finally ended up purchasing the Logitech First Mouse that is PS/2 and comes with an adapter to db9. It works as advertised. If I try to switch the PS/2 to db9 adapter between the mice, they don't work. The First Mouse is around $20.
