3 button mouse unable to orbit/pan

Hi,

Could someone help me figure out why my 3 button mouse can't do the orbit and pan function.  The mouse is fine.  I just moved onto a Mac G5, downloaded sketch up, activated the pro version, and started trying it out, and am not able to orbit or pan with the center button and left button at all.  This is the first time this has ever happened.  I went to preferences, and tried to find a setting that would reset the mouse, but not having luck.  As you can imagine, this is crippling for trying to use sketch up when you are so used to this feature.  Any insight would be very much appreciated....thanks,

What type of mouse do you have?

I find you need to set the middle button in your mouse control panel.
For example my Logitech is set as 'click'.

I have a logitech optical mouse. In the control panel, I can't find an option to set the scroll wheel as anything, only left and right as the primary button. Any ideas on this one? thanks for you help, Keea

I also have a Logitech mouse but I disallowed its driver from loading with Windows and only use the "basic" Windows mouse controls.

Now I don't know of course what to do on a Mac...

HI,

Thanks, minutes ago, I read online to try to uninstall usb overdrive from my computer, and it did the trick.  It is orbiting fine now.  thanks so much,  Keea
