no mousewheel in Q3A

[SWScorch]

Until recently I've used a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 1.0 USB. Then it died and I replaced it with a 3.0 version of the same mouse. With the 1.0, all games worked flawlessly without the doftware/drivers installed (Intellipoint Software) With my new mouse, hwoever, no game would recognize the two thumb buttons nor the mousewheel. So I installed the software, and now the thumb buttons work. However, now, in Q3A, the mousewheel does not work at all. Other games, like UT, recognize it just fine. I have the mousewheel bound to "Next_Weap" and "Prev_Weap" in my q3config.cfg file: \

bind MWHEELDOWN "weapnext"
bind MWHEELUP "weapprev"

Any ideas on why it doesnt work? I have V 1.31 I believe of Q3.

I think you've hit the thin line between having a functional thumb button oustide of a game OR a functional thumb button in a game. I'm not sure though, but this is how it was with the Logitechs.

I think you have to select "ms office" compatible scroll wheel, or something along those lines in your mouse setup..
