Usually we just use mouse middle button for Orbit, and SHIFT+MMB for Pan.

Did you change the assignment of mouse buttons in Control Panel ?

If not, test using another mouse to eliminate the possibility of worn out mouse button switches.

Dan Think you are right. Without warning the mouse has died. Tried another one and it works fine. Thank you.

Prey animals usually die silent, they might attract more predators screaming and bleeding
