leezer3 for the nix thing: I already tried all that. In VMWare scrolling works, not in VBox, its a combination Vbox/nix problem, because vista and xp in vbox mouse works ok. Its the MS mouse, its usb, other "plain" mouses work ok. But Ive got addicted to the tilt scroll and the customization you can do with the ms driver for different programs in windows.
Back to our stuff:
but are you using a panes based view?
If you are, make sure you have the right pane selected, by clicking on something within the pane before using the wheel
YES, thats the first thing I do, I usually have four panes open, it happens every time even with only one pane, itīs independent of content (video, pics, music) and it happens also in tree view.
Tomorrow, after doing a full acronis backup, Iīll uninstall the mouse drivers, and test ms mouse with out them and also I'll try a plain vanilla ps2 mouse.
