I'm having difficulties with my wheel mouse under WinXP
(Home) & SP1
I recently asked a friend:-
In Windows Explorer (Win98SE) I can use the scroll mouse in
either window without any hassle but in WinXp it reacts in
a
different way. After changing panes in Windows Explorer I
have
to place the cursor over a file name and wait for it to
highlight
before the scroll mouse will work. Once highlighted all is
ok
until I change back to the other pane and then it stops
working
again - until I once more highlight a file/folder.
Do you experience the same with WinXp-Pro.
To which I received the reply:-
No, I can move the mouse to either side of the window and
scroll and it
works. If I have a file highlighted on the left, I can
move right and
scroll the other window without changing focus. I can
scroll any window without changing any focus at all.. I can
simply move the pointer and scroll over any window, focus
has no effect good
or bad.
I have now tried three different mouse drivers with my
copy of WinXp and not one of them (including the Microsoft
drivers) will allow me to work in WinXp WIndows Explorer
in the same way as I can in Win98SE.
Is there some switch or user option somewhere that I have
failed to activate and if so can anyone please direct me
to the appropriate settings panel? Using a standard PS2
wheel mouse.
