PLEASE help with this problem!

New Logitech mouse drivers for Win2k, but lost Mouse Wheel

evil Homer

Why can't anyone get it right the first time. At last I can set the use of my mouse buttons on my USB Mouseman, but now the mouse wheel refuses to work in games.

Madden 2000 and Windows 2000

Dobbs

I have found that Madden 2000 works under Windows 2000 using a Voodoo 3 3000 and the widely released hacked beta drivers. . . However, it is impossible to play it online. I have tried both through their EA Football Net matching service, and a direct IP to IP game.

Is anyone here successfully playing The Sims under Win2k? I've read elsewhere that it should work despite the anti-NT warning on the box. The app installs ok but when I try to run it spins up the disc multiple times and never shows anything on the desktop.
