I currently use the Intellipoint 6.20.182.0 mouse driver. It is not too bad as a mouse driver but... I have a TV-Tuner PROGRAM that really goes nuts on sound volume if I move the scroll wheel while that program has focus. The MS driver allows a few buttons to be reprogrammed for specific applications and I use that function. Unfortunately it does not allow the scroll wheel to be reprogrammed or disabled.

From my searches I understand that there are other PROGRAMS that have "difficulties" with the scroll wheel, Access and some Adobe software comes to mind. I have found a code patch that can be used in Access and some workarounds for other programs but nothing for my problem.

I can activate X-Mouse type mouse CONTROLS with Tweak UI which alleviates many of the scroll button problems when the mouse is moved AWAY from the TV-screen unfortunately X-Mouse causes other problems for many other programs.

I use the magnify function in the Intellipoint driver activated with the scroll button. I also use the scroll wheel heavily in other programs.

Are there any generic mouse drivers that have advanced feature similar to but better than Intellipoint?

I have been unable to identify a MS web page that even lists the "features" available in their Intellipoint software.

W-XP Pro SP1
AMD XP 2500+
1GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0
Note- SP2 crashes my system video drivers, no updates are available that will work with my TV tuner card.
