Dear Jerry,

If that is the case, my mouse is broken.  The wheel seems undamaged, 
however, it does not give way to any amount of pressure.  It does scroll 
though.  The concurrent pressing of both buttons doesn't do anything 
either.  Microsoft must have made it for Linux users to screw them up.  
I will be fine, until I can get a new mouse.  Thanks for the persistent 
help.

Cheers! Ciao Bello, and Cordially,

Steven
