Re: Mouse wheel not working
Did the wheel work before?
Does it work on Windows?
There are some new mouse models out there that require to enable the wheel via a specific (windows) software. They save their configuration inside the mouse itself.

Re: Mouse wheel not working
Well the first mouse I used the wheel worked but was VERY slow.
Now since I tryed another mouse it doesnt seem to work at all.

Re: Mouse wheel not working
Ok, did you use the mouse on any system at any time and it worked?
Maybe the mouse wheel is broken?
Also you can change the pace of the wheel in the settings

Re: Mouse wheel not working
Chef_Keeper, please do not "bump". Report on what you have been trying, what you have learned, or at least answer the questions posed to you.
Markus asked you twice about functionality in Windows before you answered, and now he's asked about changing the pace of the wheel settings which you bumped without bothering to comment on. If that suggestion wouldn't work, or can't be applied for some reason, you can say that - but people will be less inclined to offer suggestions if they get the impression that they are being ignored.
