four button mouse

I've got a four button mouse, in fps games I like setting up the thumb button for the "use" command for doors, switches, etc.. But some games will only recognize the first 3 buttons. Does anyone know of a freeware program that will let me assign a keyboard key to the 4th button?

My System

The first thing I would do is go to the manufacturer's website and see if you can download drivers for the mouse. I used to own a 4-button mouse, and I had similar problems, with some games not recognising the 3rd and/or 4th button. The drivers fixed that issue, so that is where I would start.

if the manufacturer doesn't have a driver for it, google for a program called "X-Mouse". NEver used it, but it might work.
