    not working for me, i dont have that in my mouse thing from the control panel. it goes controll panel, mouse, then a box with tabs "buttons" "pointers" "pointers options" "Wheel" and "Hardware", none of which have a gestures option.

    did you reformat? if so, you should update your mouse driver like SG said. i have the 6000 and it's there for me.

    edit: 'gestures' should be a tab of its own
