You'll need to install the ancilliary software that came with the mouse,
or download from their web site, to add functionality beyond the
standard 3-button wheel mouse. There are some standard button codes in
the registry, but they won't cover the extra buttons which is why you
need software to fully support all functions of specialty mice.

However, if the software doesn't support Windows XP, you're stuck with
the standard mouse attributes, or you can see if the software happens to
work on Windows XP. The above web page does not mention Windows version support. There is a 32-bit version of the mouse software. You said
Windows XP Pro, and that is a 32-bit OS.

I already tried that after i sent my initial post.
I downloaded the 32 bit version. Yes I did, 32 bit version.
When I tried to install it, it popped up an error message saying it could not install because it was not the 32 bit version. WHAT ????
MS screws up again ?
Again MS cares NOT !
If I do not fit their monetary profile, then be gone !

If I type magnify at Run, I get a magnifier bar across the top of the[]
desktop window but that is not easy to work with. I rather have a
magnifier small window that moves with the mouse.

The mouse wheel doesn't look like it tips from side to side.
It has a long axle.

You can try ctrl-scrollwheel and see if the zoom happens.
Even the desktop can zoom, but not necessarily every part of it.
Be careful testing at first, to count rotations, in case
you want the mag to go back to normal again.
The magnifier in Accessibility, is likely to be a round
circle of "bigger stuff". And as you move the mouse cursor
around, the circle magnifies whatever you're over the top of.
That's a different function than the scaling the ctrl-mousewheel
does.

It does not say so but I bet you will also need the drivers which are
also at that website.
If you want to customize your mouse, you will have to install--
IntelliPoint 5.3 (about 60 MB), which requires a restart. To customize
your mouse keys, select either "Mouse" for the Control Panel or
"Microsoft Mouse" from the program menu. On the buttons tab you can
click on the different buttons and reassign the keys to a variety of >functions. In this software you can also change your pointers, other
pointer options, view which hardware is connected, change scrolling
options, and view wireless features. The software is easy to use and is >required for advanced functionality of the mouse. "

Tried it, they don't got it :-)
it's the old Confirmation link scam. Microsoft can block
download archiving, by the usage of the intermediary
Confirmation link thing.
You will need to find a USENET posting with a "final" URL
for the file. In other words, a user goes to Download manager
in the browser, and copies out the URL after the download is
finished. That's your last chance at it.

Well, I don't have that mouse. Softpedia keeps a pretty decent
archive of old drivers. Maybe the OP will find something that actually
works here:

After a long time away on travel, I was now able to go to softpedia
and after a lot of confusion as to which button to click I finally
downloaded and install version 6.1 and now I have the much needed
magnifier.
