The middle mouse button orbit function stopped working. Tried re installing Blender both on Mac and Toshiba laptop to no avail.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

Are you using a 3 button mouse with your laptop or are you talking about the emulation made for trackpad ?

When people are installing a new release of Blender, they are expecting everything to work and often forget that they had changed user preferences in the previous version.

Please
If you are using trackpad, can you confirm that you have checked user preferences options ?
If you are using a 3 button mouse or a 3D mouse, can you precise your device model and check if its driver is up-to-date ?

Yes, I am using a three mouse button. I have tried all the mice I have laying around even my ancient Logitech with a cable.
I have checked the settings.
The strange thing is that it stopped working gradually. Initially it was ok, working fine then it began to stick, ie: I needed to click the roller button a couple of times for the tool to get activated then it stopped completely. Both on my MacBook Pro and Toshiba Sattelite !!! Drivers are ok.
