Maybe I didn't make this clear....it's not a VB issue. There's no reason a
VB service pack would or should address it. Service packs, in general,
don't add functionality. They fix bugs. In some cases, they take away
functionality. Usually, this is for security reasons. Rather than "fix"
the vulnerability, they merely disable the feature. That's pretty much all
WinXP SP2 did.

Latest isn't always best. The wheel worked great with early versions of
Intellipoint, as well. Then they broke it in the later versions. Most folks use
either Wheeler or VBScroll to address this.

Or, you could just get hysterical, I suppose.

Honestly, I haven't tried. That's not good to hear. Have you tried Wheeler?
