It's only a minor thing but i can't solve it.

I have a ps2 mouse on win xp sp3. the wheel has stopped scrolling in all apps however in apps that support it i can click the wheel and bring up the scrolling four way arrows and scroll that way.

I've tried uninstalling the drivers and changing the wheel settings but to no effect.

It obviously recognises the wheel since i can click it.

Any ideas super users?!

Mac OS X vs. Windows mouse wheel scrolling

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
Mac OS X determines what area to scroll by the mouse position. Windows does this by what application is active. So I thought anyway. If Notepad++ is the active application in Windows, I can scroll underlying applications by placing the mouse pointer on them. But this seems like the only application… >>> More
