You could manually add the 3rd button and see if it works for you.

If you go to into /etc there's a file called mousebuttons. Yours should simply say "2". Change it to "3" and reboot. let us know if this helps at all.

Will that work? I am currently running puppy off CD with home set to my flash drive. I want to be able to boot off my flash drive but it appears my BIOS wont allow it. So just wondering if changing that will work.
