Mouse buttons

I know where to go to change the setting for the mouse buttons but there isn't an option there that I know exists.

That is when you hold the button down for a few seconds a secondary menu comes up. My mouse used to do that but then for some time now it mysteriously stopped and I haven't figured out how to get it back.

Can someone help me out please?

Thanks in advance,

Are you using a notebook or a desktop? And if you are using a notebook are you using the touchpad and the touch pad buttons or an external mouse?

It's a desktop with a wireless mouse. The mouse has a scroll ball on top and two side buttons that when pushed together pan all the screens out to choose between programs.
Also, the scroll ball stopped scrolling internet pages and such.

The ball is set to "Dashboard"
The top button is set to "Primary button" on the left and "Secondary button" on the right.
The side buttons are set to "Expose all windows"
Scrolling options are "Vertical and Horizontal"

Hmmm... weird what type of mouse are you using?

I believe he is using a wireless mighty mouse baced on the expose activating side buttons

Mouse model number A1197.
If that helps.
But it sounds like what you said about the expose side buttons. That's probably it.

Alright well i do not have one myself so from the information i do have i'm going to assume that it's a hardware issue.
