Its a combo of mouse driver and AutoCAD setting MBUTTONPAN. Set MBUTTONPAN to 1 and then adjust the mouse driver for the middle button. May take some trial and error.

Every one I've ever used automatically assumed those props upon installation so the scroll button already worked fine.
 
My middle button is set to mbuttonpan=0 giving me access to the options pop-up menus, and I still have access to my middle scroll-wheel (for zooming in & out). Check your mouse driver, and what each button is set for. Scrolling and Clicking on the middle button is usually 2 seperate functions on the same wheel/button.
good luck-
