Title: I've only got a little one
Post by: Barra on August 18, 2004, 04:41
Ok, not a big problem and I can live with it but it's a pain in the buttock region all the same.
The scroll wheel on my mouse won't scroll. I can hols it in and drag page down but thats it. I presumed my mouse had begun to go belly up but I'm not so sure now. It works fine scroling through emails in incredimail but nowhere else. Tried it in explorer window (and no Simon I'm not installing mozilla to see if it works in that :D),no joy. also in folders, sub-folders etc. It's not the end of the world but ........
Oh, it connects by usb if that helps.

Just had a thought and thought I'd try an old ps2 mouse. That doesn't even work in incredimail.

Strangely, I had a similar problem when I had a brief flirtation with Mozilla.  It worked fine in all other applications.  The trouble is once you get used to that scroll wheel you really miss it don't you?  Best thing to do is try it on another computer to see if returns to normal there.  At least you will eliminate the mouse that way.
