Quake 3 wheel mouse problems ?

[MSNY]

I have a USB 5 button MS Intellimouse Explorer (red light). I can't get the wheel to scroll my weapons. I can't always change this setting either. Seems like when I first load the game, it will setup but not be "saved". I've deleted the Q3config.cfg as one possible solution and let the game rebuild it...but the problem starts all over again. Also I've mapped the small thumb button to the ALT key and set it as the rail weapon. This does not work either ? I'm stumped, all the other mouse buttons work fine and I can change them.
Also, I play a lot of Rocket Arena, are the settings ans configs the same as the base levels ?

Help please, I'm confused ?

Ok this might not be it, but try setting the weapon's scroll as the mouse wheel, choose accept, and then quit Quake 3. Load it back up again and see if that works. Make sure you have your intellipoint software installed, and that the client is running in the background (signified by the small mouse icon on the toolbar).

Give it a shot, good luck.

my wheel wil only work in quake 3 if I did not modify the controls. If I changed the controld I have to qui and restart the game for the wheel to work.

Thanks for the reply's. I solved the problem by upgrading to Intellipoint 3.2 drivers. Somehow my orginial drivers were bad I think.

Cool, nice one. I think I'll upgrade to those drivers too.
