SYMPTOMS
When you try to change the assignment for a mouse button on one of the Microsoft IntelliMouse pointing devices listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section, you may receive the following error message:

You must assign Click to another mouse button before you can change this setting.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if you try to assign all the pointing device buttons to a function other than the primary mouse click function.

Note You must always assign at least one button to use the primary mouse click function for the pointing device to interact correctly with your computer.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, assign the primary mouse click function to another button on your pointing device before you try to reassign the button that is currently assigned to use the primary mouse click function.
