Why doesnt my middle mouse wheel work in Deus Ex or Black and White??

[Videogamerzed52]

The Games just dont recognize it. My mouse is a logitech optical whell mouse. All Help is Appreciated.

some games and some software do not recognize that feature...

I'm surprised that you haven't encountered other software that doesn't use it...

If a game or any software is written using the windows api than the middle wheel usually works, but at least in the case of b&w a custom mouse driver was used... i could be wrong though.

I believe that B&W and other online games will never make use of that feature simply because it could give an advantage to another player over one that does not have a wheel mouse. I'm not sure about deus ex as I've never played it.

Hope this helps

i think it might have something to do with your mouse's driver.. i had a wheel mouse and am using the microsoft wheel mouse driver(default mouse driver that got installed when i installed windows).. my wheel works in all the games..
