Question
I recently had to replace my mouse - it just died.  Anyways, I replaced a logitec mouse with a Microsoft 5 button intellezoom mouse (the comfort optical mouse 300 to be exact).

I cannot seem to make the zoom extents work when I double click the mouse.

I have tried the following:
MBUTTONPAN - changed the settings to both 1 and 0
Setting the scroll button to AutoScroll and Middle Button (neither worked and there are no options for the AutoScroll)
Deselecting the option to have scroll windows show in options tab.

None of these have worked, I am about to go and purchase another logitec as I know they have worked in the past.  I am using AutoCAD 2002 and Windows Vista.

Thanks for any help.

Answer
The Microsoft mice work, and usually more reliable in AutoCAD than Logitech.  It's very unusual that an MS Intellimouse doesn't work.  Did you install the software that comes with the mouse?  That's very imortant.  Those are the drivers the mouse needs in order to do what it's supposed to.  The driver installation places a little mouse icon in your system tray.  Double click that or you can use: Control Panel; Mouse.  

If that doesn't help, keep the dialog going and let's get the problem solved.
