Simple Question FV 3.3.1

Okay, for some reason the scroll on my mouse no longer zooms maps in and out and for the life of me I can't figure out if there is someplace I can go to set this. I really don't want to uninstall and reinstall to fix this problem. So, anyone have any idea where I could go in the menus to tell FV to use the scroll wheel for zoom? Windows XP SP3, FV 3.3.1.804, Dell standard USB mouse and keyboard. Thanks, Jeff

    Strange. I assume that it works to scroll in other applications?

      Yes, it works fine everywhere else but for some reason not in FV. Yeah, it's weird.

        Might want to take a look at your Mouse Properties in Control Panel and see what the scroll wheel is setup to do.

          Two settings for the wheel, either scroll X number of lines or one screen at a time. Neither setting makes a difference. It scrolls fine in every other program whcih allows wheel use, but not in FVW for some reason.

    Do you have multiple monitors. If I recall 3.3.1 had a problem with the wheel and multiple monitors. (Back in 2003 multiple monitors were fairly rare).

      Nope, single monitor, basic Dell Vostro 400, Windows XP, Dell USB scroll mouse, Dell monitor, nothing esoteric. Do you know if there is a setting in FalconView where you can check mouse settings or does it just pull that data from Windows? Worse comes to worse I guess I'll wind up upgrading to the newer version and seeing if it works there.

        No there are no user settings for the mouse. I have never seen heard of anyone having anything that sounds similar. Even back when we first had the problem with multiple monitors, the mouse change the scale, it just scaled in at an unexpected location.

          Actually I remember that problem with the early version of FV as well. Thanks for looking at the problem in any case. Looks like it's time to update to the newer version and go from there.
