My God this thread was started in 2003, but thank God it is still here!
Aaron, I doubt you will ever read this response to your ancient solution, but thank
you so much!
I have been using a Logitech USB mouse with side scroll capability for months without
a problem. But I had never installed the driver to make the side scroll work. I finally
installed the software a couple days ago, and that is when my problems started. But
I never made the connection between the two! I also recently discovered that the
USB port it was connected to was not a high speed post, so I moved it to one. I'm
not sure if this had an effect on the problem since I moved it at the same time I
installed the side scroll driver.
So, just shy of seven years later your solution is still going strong! Thanks again!
