Sonja, it sounds like your best bet is to try the MS IntelliPoint 4.1 driver. That's the one I've been successful with and Simon too.

Thanks everyone, Sonja -----Original Message----- From: Nigel Dawes [mailto:NigelD@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, 10 June 2004 11:45 To: 'austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: atw: Re: Mouse wheel not working in FM7 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?!
