Primax MOSZW PS/2 Mouse

[jonocainuk]

I've got a Primax MOSZW PS/2 Mouse on a PC here, but the scroll wheel doesnt actually scroll... when I roll the wheel up (away from me), the mouse pointer moves down the screen very slowly and when I roll the wheel down (towards me), the mouse pointer moves up the screen very slowly.

I cannot seem to find any updated drivers or software for this mouse to get the wheel to work, but Windows recognises it as a Microsoft PS/2 mouse so I tried MS Intellipoint software, and it installed OK, but hasnt fixed the problem (I didnt really think it would... I just thought it would be worth a try)

Does anyone have any ideas, or know of any little programs which force the enabling of the mouse wheel?

Thanks in advance


edit: I'm having the problems above in Windows 2000 Professional only... it works in Windows XP though

....have you set up the mouse configuration under Control Panel?

yeah... there is no option available for the scroll wheel.

when i installed intellipoint software, there was an option for scroll wheel, but it was grayed out :/

think ill install xp again on it tonight - i got some new hardware for it, so it'll run better than before

XP usually does the trick, or just buy a new mouse lol, they dont cost much

aye, good point... easier for me to reinstall a pc than to find a computer shop that is actually open at a time i can make it there though...

had an excellent computer shop jus up the road from me when I lived in Liverpool... Rochdale sucks for computer shops
