Annoying mouse (wheel) problem

[AcidX]

Hi.

I have a wireless optical mouse, which I'd been running off USB and
everyhing was working fine.
However, as my firewire/usb-combo card is now unfunctional, I've had to
utilize my USB ports more effeciently. So, my mouse is now running off
PS/2 connection.
Now it's running off PS/2 connection this strange problem with my
scroll wheel has occured.
I can scroll down fine.. But when I scroll up (in a browser, or windows
explorer, etc) it acts as a 'back' button (like in any browser). It
scrolls up a little before proceeding to send me back and forth between
pages.

I've tried it in my USB ports again, and I don't have this problem,
only in PS/2.
I've tried unistalling/reinstalling the drivers. I've tried changing
wheel settings, but nothing works... Is there any way to correct this
problem? Software? Maybe even a registry key?

I don't know, I'm stumped. Can anyone help?

Hi
Have you looked in Control Panel _Mouse>Wheel

yeah.
I tried fiddling around with them settings, but it did nothing ;(
I just don't get why it only happens when the mouse is in PS/2...

The "USB-PS/2" adapter isn't completely compatible. Either get a PS/2
mouse or put the one you have back on USB.

sounds like you're clicking the wheel button unintentionally; wheel click
defaults to "back"
