Well I don't know about the mouse (using a venerable 2-button M$ Optical 
Intellimouse w/scroll wheel as I do) but for the name with spaces in, 
open up your autoexec.cfg and put the name inside " " (so, mine is set 
name "^1EvilBill^2[^4AGQx^2]" <g>

Install the intellipoint software. Configure it. Change your binds in your 
autoexec.cfg to reflect the keys bound to the mouse buttons.

I think what you want to know is how to bind a key?

So configure your mouse as you said: "...in order to solve this problem, a 
can (outside of Q3)
> assign a button to a specific key,..." then in order to bind THAT key in 
> Q3 do this:

bind <key> <command>

I think that's what you meant. As a previous poster mentioned, you can out 
this in a cfg file. I have a cfg which I execute first thing when I join the 
game.

Hope that was it... 

I had the same problem in the past. The solution is:
1. install the latest Microsoft Mouse Driver for Inteli mouse
2. open up control panel \ mouse \ properties \ one of the tabs above
3. you will be able to choose a mouse key (Ifor example one of the left
side buttons) and in the select listbox choose ('select a key' option -
~it's one of the options in thew middle of the list.. i guess)

So, I hope it helps, I wrote this just by remembering 2 uears ago or
so.. but YES it's possible :)

Hi all again.

I got this to work with Quake 3 (Urban Terror mod specifically), but not 
with
the program specific option.  I had to set this up under the general
assignment for it to work. It's a bit of a pain as now I can't skip forwards
and backwords through windows without changing the settings every time.  Any
idea what's stopping me?  and why I'm being such a noob?
