	Mine is the same, save the fact that it has "Microsoft" under
the Protocol heading. I've kept it that way because I used to have an
MS mouse (thankfully discarded), and this setting worked well with my
other Logitech mice (incl. the original TrackMan Marble).

	I altered it to say what yours does, and now it seems the 4th
button is responding.

	However, the buttons seem to be a bit muddled. Buttons 2 and 4
have reversed roles... This isn't a big deal, really, but did that
happen to you?
