So, I've upgraded to a much better machine to work on, one with Windows 7 64 bit, and I've been loving it. Settled in nicely.
I have Max 2009 all nice and installed, and with all the PC's ample power, it runs like a dream.
However, I have a problem in the middle mouse button. I, like most Max users I'm guessing, prefer to navigate the viewports with rotate selected, left click rotating, middle-mouse scroll zooming, and middle mouse button panning. It's easy and stays out of my way.
However, Windows 7 tends to have other ideas when it comes to the Middle-mouse button. In most programs, it likes to use it as the "flip", to switch windows on the fly in the same way one might change suit powers in Crysis or something. This makes browsing the net difficult because I can't click it and pull down the mouse to scroll down like I'd usually do, but most of all, the pan function in Max is similarly eliminated.
Surely with Windows 7 having been around for as many months, there's been a way found around this? And if there has, I'm sure you Windows 7 using Max users have implemented it. Would you mind letting me in on the secret?
