apple bt mouse w/ scroll wheel nor right-side click working in ML 10.8

i've have years of experience in setting up macs and this scroll wheel old bluetooth mouse doesn't function as i set it up in system prefs. the scroll wheel seems clean but does not work no matter the setting chosen. also, the right side and double finger clicking don't work either. it seems that there's a compatability issue.

any word?

i'm on 10.8 MBP 13
