I tried posting the below to comp.os.ms-windows.misc but got no
replies so here goes in this group?

I had a MS Intellimouse Optical USB working with MS Intellipoint v4.01
on XP Pro. Then decided to buy the new MS Intellimouse Explorer with
Tilt Wheel which needs MS Intellipoint v5.0 installed.

Fine you all say, I thought the same. BUT.

Before using Intellipoint v4.01 I could scroll using the wheel in two
applications I use quite alot. These were Hummingbird Docs Open v3.9.0
and MapInfo Professional v7.0 build 26.

After installing Intellipoint v5.0 the wheel scrolling does not work
in these apps.?
No doubt many people have been down this path but I decided to post a
question about this to the Usenet instead of Microsoft Support due to
my total lack of faith that I would find anyone remotely interested in
MS Support.

What surprised me is before installing MS Intellipoint v4.01 the wheel
did not work in those apps. So have gone from no scroll to scroll back
to no scroll. Why does this happen?? Or should I really ask "What is
the meaning of life?"

Hope someone out there can give me some positive feedback?

5.0 removed functionality that existed in 4.1. Try rolling back the driver
in hardware device driver config.
 
Not that the user will lose tilt-wheel support if he does this.

So there'll be a trade-off between losing tilt-wheel support and getting
back the old functionality.
