Wheel not working on mouse
This is a discussion about Wheel not working on mouse in the Windows Hardware category; I was running W2k on my old PII-400 with my mouse working fine, wheel and all. Now when I went to my Athlon 800, I formated and reinstalled Windows 2000. The mouse works, but the wheel doesn't. I checked the mouse properties and have it set to Assume Wheel is Present.

Any Ideas?

Go get your old PII ;(
what type of mouse?
microsoft has drivers for its line (that seem to also work with other brands) at:
http://www.microsoft.com/mouse
(and you don't need to have to waste your time by having a previous (buggy) version of the intellimouse drivers installed)

OP
It is just a plain MS Mouse. I went to MS website to download the Intellimouse drivers, but it said you needed v1.1 installed for them to work. I don't have any Intellimouse drivers. Does anyone know here I can get them?
OP
I got it working. I unplugged the mouse and plugged it back in.
I don't get it. If the connection was loose, why did the mouse work?
Go figure.

A loose connection might not cause the mouse to stop working, however, it might cause it to report itself wrongly. A reconnection usually causes the computer to reconfigure itself - in your case it looks like this is exactly what happened.
