Mouse at work (without installing drivers)

[Center]

So my job won't install drivers on my work laptop because they say that they do not allow personal mouses. The mouse they issued was the standard HP mouse.

Given that I have Windows XP SP3 installed, is there a mouse that I can buy that allows for both vertical AND horizontal scrollwheel functions (I work with a TON of spreadsheets) without installing a 3rd party driver?

I can plug in my Logitech mouse and it'll work, but the scrollwheel only works vertically.

Thanks!

Can you set your spreadsheet program to scroll with keyboard keys? You could get a Logitech G9x, program it on another computer, and on your work computer it will just function as a keyboard. But the G9x has horrible side scrolling action. The wheel is just too stiff and tends to spin instead.
