OK, maybe this is a stupid question, but I have no answer, so any help would be appreciated. I just purchased the game, and started playing the tutorial. I have an MX Revolution mouse, which as anyone knows who has one does not have a distinct middle button (the scroll wheel acts as the middle button). The tutorial wants me to click the middle button to rotate the camera, but when I do this, nothing happens, and the screen does not move. I can move back and forth, up and down, and zoom in and out, but can't rotate around. Because of this, I can't progress further into the tutorial (and I'd like to be able to rotate the camera anyway).

Does anyone have any ideas, or maybe someone had this problem and figured it out? Any help would be apprecated, thanks!

This usually happens when you install the special driver software that comes with your mouse. For some reason, these mostly useless programs overwrite the functionality of your extra mouse buttons rendering them useless for games. If you uninstall the software suite and just use the default Windows drivers, mouse functionality should be back to normal.

You should also be able to rotate with the ALT key pressed.

i thought holding down the mouse 3 (mouse wheel button) and moving the mouse is a way also to rotate?
