Mousewheel doesn't work on Win2k

[blub 0]

Hi,

the wheel of my Logitech-Mouse doesn't work with MaxPayne and Quake3Arena in Windows 2000.

I have installed DX8, ServicePack2 and the newest Logitech-driver.

On Windows 98SE it works very well and on standard Win-Apps in Win2k it works too.

 

What can I do? Do anyone have the same problem?

i don't have the logitech mouse but my microsoft explorer mousewheel works perfect in all my games including Quake 3,i'm using W2K SP2.

I got a logitech mouse (cordless/optical) and my wheel was reacting weird in win2k (but not in winMe): it didn't scroll all the time in windows and didn't scroll at all in quake3arena.

I then went in the mouse options in control panel and put "use ms office compatibility scroll only". Now it works great.

I hope this helps.

 

Also, download the latest mouseware from www.logitech.com

there is a fix for this

you may download it from Logitech

gamepatch or fix its called "its a reg fix"

it doesn matter what wersion of mouse drivers u use

 

but you may also "if you are comfortable with the Windows register u can do the same changes there"

 

this one i found from Logitechs homepage

 

- Click the "Start" button on the Windows Desktop and select

"Run...".

- On the Open line, type C:\WINDOWS\REGEDIT.EXE and press [ENTER].

- From the Registry Editor screen, double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

- Double click on SOFTWARE.

- Double click on Logitech.

- Double click on MouseWare.

- Double click on CurrentVersion.

- Single click on Technical and information should be displayed on

the right side of the Registry Editor screen.

- Under the Name column, double click on the "MouseHookDLLEnable"

entry and the Edit String Dialogue box should appear.

- Modify the Value Data line to read "0", and click the "OK" button

- Exit the Registry editor (saving is automatic).

- Restart the system.

 

Your game software should now be able to properly use your Logitech

Wheel/Roller.

 

 

this should solve the probs u have "i had the same probs as u once"

Thx for the answers!

Well, after I changed the registry-key and enabled the only-office-scroll it scrolls in Quake3Arena perfect.

But there is still no reaction in MaxPayne

you should disable disable the office scroll and

set "the webwheel has a click function as well press it u see " as middle button

then it should work

 

good luck
