Question about 'Use the Third Mouse Button'

I have a question about Use 
the Third Mouse Button:

The 3 button mouse (not a wheel mouse) I installed to replace a 2 button MS serial mouse (db9, not usb) has a problem with the auto-scroll function. It will not work correctly in both browsers, IE or Firefox. It does work properly in all other prgms- Wordpad, Notepad, Acrobat reader, irfanview, etc. What happens with the browsers is the autoscroll icon will pop up on the screen but when I move the mouse up or down, the page does not advance up/down. I even tried changing the middle button setting to "page down" instead and when I click it the page jumps all the way to the bottom instead of 1 pg at a time. BTW, this mouse has worked fine on another PC for a couple of yrs so I don't suspect it's a h/w issue. I tried changing the driver back to the MS serial mouse and it won't work either. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution for it? I also installed the new Firefox 2.0 today and no change. TIA
