Mouse Scroll Broken

Has anyone any ideas why my mouse has stopped scrolling in SL ?

I changed from a laptop to a PC, and suddenly I can't scroll anymore either with the same mouse or a different one. It works in every other program - Word/Outlook etc, just not in SL.

It's VERY frustrating to say the least! and I can't see anything either in the SL preferences or in the mouse configuration in Control Panel/Mouse that would help.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks

That's annoying isn't it. I don't have any super technical advice for you, because I can't really understand why it would just stop working. But on an offchance, are you playing in a window rather than full screen now, or vice versa? Other than the obvious computer change, did you change anything about the way you play SL?

Just wondering if mouse scrolling is affected differently whether you're in Full Screen or Windowed. I only use windowed, so I don't know if there is any difference at all. Just a thought.

Sorry this hasn't been very helpful. If nothing else, it'll bump the post and maybe someone else will see it and be able to help.

Hi Omen

Thanks for replying, it seems to be a mystery to everyone. I spoke to a Linden last night who said to bug report it.

I know it's only a small thing, but I can't believe how frustrating it is and how much I miss that simple feature..

<sigh>
