I recently reinstalled windows Vista after using Ubuntu for about three months. I’m happy to find, for now, that it’s working much better after the Service Pack. At least, that’s what I assume has made it so much smoother.

Anyhow, I just reinstalled the mouse utility, and I can’t get the wheel click function to work in Firefox. It was actually working correctly before I installed the mouse utility (but the touchpad scolling wasn’t working).

How do I bring this back?
