Windows 7 - mouse scroll not working

Post by gihe » 23 May 2010 01:24

Just upgraded to Windows 7 and now my mouse doesn't scroll anywhere in FH, except in Note boxes. I'm using 4.1.0 (RC).

My mouse is a Wireless Laser mouse 6000, using the latest Windows 7 drivers from Microsoft.

Other apps scroll perfectly and it was OK in XP using the same mouse.

Can anyone provide help?

Try using the ' driver for Optical Mouse 2000'

I believe there is a feature in the Intelmouse driver.

gihe,

Do you know there is an upgrade from 4.1.0 to 4.1.2.

Thanks Jane - the driver 'downgrade' did the trick. In the end I selected 'Comfort Optical Mouse 3000' from the connected device dropdown, as it had a few more options.

Oh, and thanks for the upgrade pointer Stevebye. I'm now up to date!
