I've been playing Q3 for 4 months now, my Intellimouse Explorer wheel has worked fine for switching weapons. I had wheelup=next weapon, wheeldown=previous weapon. Now, the wheel doesn't work in Q3 but works in ALL other apps.
When i first launch Q3 and go into controls, I can set the wheel as above...but, as soon as i launch the game, the settings are LOST. When i go back into controls, next/prev weapon doesn't respond to the wheel. The bizzare thing, all was fine for 4 months!! This all started after I went back into control settings to tweek a couple items.
ANY CLUES??? Read on for more details:
I have 3 PC's, all three are showing the exact same symtom's. At one point, all 3 systems had the wheel working fine. 2 of the systems use Explorer mice and the other uses an Intellimouse wheel. The intellimouse system is using an older MS mouse driver while the explorer mice systems are using Intellipoint 3.1. On one system, I have wiped out the Intellipoint 3.1 AND Q3 and started from scratch...problem persisted.
I have spent HOURS on this issue with no luck. I have also used the Intellimouse 3.1 help, it recognizes apps and attempts to correct the problem. It was able to fix the situation on one of the PC's but only temporarly. On this PC, it will no longer correct the problem as it did before.
What the HLL am i missing here? I am a computer professional and hardware expert, so this is REALLY bugging me. IDEAS? With 3 PC's showing the same behavior, I can't be the only one with this problem.
