Thanks all.

Strange as it is, I went to Home Depot right after I posted to get some moulding for a project, and lo and behold, a 6 buck three button optical mouse!

Considering the ‘puter is an ancient 800 Mhz P3 (but, hey, it’s a dual!), 6 bucks seems appropriate.

I agree with JC to teach standard things early, which is why I showed my daughter at 5 how to make Windows “go boom”. She regularly flips back and forth between Linux and Windows, which just severly confuses my son. Hence the windows install.

Ok, I admit it, I'm a Linux guy. I can get around this issue fairly easily on Linux. However, my ten-year old daughter has seen me noodling Houdini (specifically the rabbit otl), as played with it on the Linux box, and wants it on the family Windows machine for her to play with.

So, how do you map a middle mouse click with a two-button mouse in Windows (other than buy a new mouse)?

Fedora Core 1
Houdini 7.0.142 for rh9

Everything seems correct, but when I tell houdini to “install a non-commerical …” the error returned (after the agreement dialog) is “Could not generate license key”. I also get the same error from license.sidefx.com.

hkey shows an invalid server key error, but here's the output from the diagnostics:
