My mouse scroll wheel won't work! *cries* - Club CDFreaks

*theone1_* · 25-04-2004

About half an hour ago, I noticed that when I tried to roll the mouse wheel to scroll up/down a mouse page, it wouldn't work! Now, the majority of us here at CDFreaks have a mouse with a scroll wheel. And I bet the majority of them have gone to work/school/friends house - tried to scroll, only to find there isn't a wheel! It seems like someone is picking on me

.
Is there any way that could help me to fix the problem? I tried restarting and using the search, but nothing...

I have a Labtec mouse...has a ball (not optical)...it has a glowing red scroll wheel. That's all I know until I can be screwed to look for the box.

I can do the click and scroll thing with it, so it is connected properly. And I can scroll through drop-down menus as well.

TIA

Click and scroll thing = click the wheel and move the mouse to scroll?

Can you open your mouse without too much of a hassle?

*theone1_* · 25-04-2004

Yes and yes

Remove the mouse driver in safe mode would probably reinstall the standard mouse driver XP has.

You didn't accidentally installed on of those multimedia extra's did you ?

I did recently put on that Windows Security Update CD, but I forgot whether that was before or after the problem....

I will try and find the CD with the driver
...Wish me luck!

No luck...It's there somewhere, but I had a better solution.... www.labtec.com !

Ok, I installed the driver and restarted...
It wouldn't work, so I changed settings from 'Scroll x lines per scroll unit', to 'Scroll one page per scroll unit' and it worked. Problem is, it works too fast, I liked the 3 line one

. Should I install it in safemode (would that work?)

I doubt it , the moment you boot under normal mode , the history of drivers is the current one again (damn you xp , at least win95 showed all drivers , which resulted in 28 different drivers for your mouse).

Can you also change the response time of the mouse itself ? Usually it's just 100 or 50 polls per second , but you can crank it up to 200.

Options are:

Wheel Mode:
-System default ( Intelli-mouse) mode.
-Enhanced scroll mode

Wheel Speed:
-Scroll x lines per scroll unit
-Scroll one page per scroll unit

That's all

Crappy Driver settings...
