Hi Jimmy,

I gave it a go and disabled the middle mouse button as you suggested, but
when I tried to map the game controls it was just as before - nothing
happened.

The game was waiting for me to select a valid key - it just didn't recognise
the middle mouse button at all.

Many thanks for your help, but it's back to the drawing board for me (or
bring my my Logitech mouse!).

Regards,

Mike
