This Microsoft support note may explain the problem:<br><br><a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303091">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303091</a><br><br><blockquote>With newer “high-resolution” mouse devices, some applications may not
correctly interpret partial scrolling messages.
When low resolution wheels scroll up and down, the mouse driver sends a
scroll magnitude of 120 for each tick of the wheel up and 120 for each
tick down. According to the official documentation, a scrolling value
of 120 (or -120) indicates one line of scrolling. If the application
receives less than a full line, it should either scroll part of a line
(which is what Microsoft Word and some other applications do) or if
that’s not possible, save up the value until a total of 120 is reached
(which is what Notepad does). Most current Microsoft mouse devices are
designed to give a smoother scroll experience, so the wheels are higher
resolution and send four times as many scroll events, but at one-quarter
of the magnitude. So instead of 120, they send 30 (or instead of -120
when scrolling back, they send -30). This should result in scrolling at
the same speed, just more smoothly.
<br><br>Some applications may not handle this correctly.
<br><br>For example, they may ignore partial scroll events, or they may
interpret a partial (30) event as a full line (120). There have been
instances of some applications that actually combine both of these
incorrect behaviors. For example, some applications may ignore the
positive partial events and treat negative partial events as a full
line, which would result in slow scrolling forward and fast scrolling
backward.
<br><br>To test whether this is an application-specific problem, compare
the behavior in that application to how scrolling works in Notepad or
Microsoft Word.<br></blockquote>73,<br>Bob, N6TV<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 6:20 PM, Dave Zeph <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zephd@indy.rr.com">zephd@indy.rr.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Note also that this particular mouse has a special "digital ink mode"
(toggled by a small button below mouse button 1); maybe the wheel doesn't work
when it is in this mode?<br>
<br>
The Microsoft Mouse 8000 <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/3/6/036edd2f-8ba5-43e7-93c3-202c2a1e4d3e/X12-33594-02_NA_EN_XC_FR_IT_PT_ES.pdf" target="_blank">manual</a>
sure is cryptic. Leave it to Microsoft to complicate something as simple
as a mouse.<br>

Except if the bandmap window is not the topmost window, I don't see any<br>
