I have an IBM mouse with a scroll wheel that worked perfect in Windows ME.
I completely dumped the system and installed Windows XP from scratch, but
not my wheel does not work on my mouse! I have tried numerous things:

1) I went into device manager and it reports a Microsoft PS/2 Mouse
2) "Assume wheel is present" is selected under the mouse device manager
properties
3) I uninstalled the mouse, rebooted and it was found/installed again by
Windows XP but still no wheel function!

In fact, when I goto the control panel and select the mouse, I do not have
a Scroll tab in the mouse properties! Aargh!

Any ideas?? Please??

Thank you in advance.

Couple of ideas try going to IBM website download updated
driver for your mouse and install, or if that fails
(longshot) run system file check start/run type cmd click
ok, at command prompt window type sfc/
scannow (1 space after/) hit enter you will then be
propted to insert xp disc (ignore screen from cd) this
will check system files and make repairs if needed. Hope
this helps.
