Actually, you do not need to use any driver at all!

If you have a switch on the front of the mouse slide it to the 2-button mouse
option.

Otherwise just hold down a button when you turn your computer on.  This sets
the mouse to be in MS MOUSE mode.  (Actually, you may still have to run GMOUSE,
but I am not at home to test it out and I have 2 computers with 2 GENIUS mice.
However you c a n use your mouse successfully and I prefer it to the MS MOUSE)
