I use a standard MS driver for my Fellows mouse and have no problems with
FM7. However, I am aware that certain drivers won't work with FM.

The driver I use comes std with XP/2000/NT. It's the Microsoft PS/2 Port
Mouse (IntelliPoint). The driver should work regardless of mouse brand.

Also, try this from Mouse Properties:

1. Select the Hardware Tab
2. Choose the mouse from the Devices dialog and click Properties
3. Go to the Advanced Settings tab
4. In the Wheel Detection option select "Assume wheel is present"

Btw, in my expierience it's not necessary to download any patches. Just try
a few different drivers as supplied with your MS OS and don't waste your
time searching the WWW.

Hope that helps?!

Best Regards
Nigel

It's been a while since I've used FM, but I seem to recall that you
needed to download a patch to make the wheel on the mouse work.

I've just installed a 30 day trial version of FM7 on my laptop. When I
use =3D3D
FM, the scroll  wheel on my mouse doesn't work. It works for all other
aps.=3D3D
 Anyone know how I can get it to work in FM? I've already rebooted.

Many thanks,
Sonja
