    Mouse wheel
    « on: May 20, 2008, 08:53:18 AM »
    Hello,

    I was playing a game when all of a sudden my sound went ''poof''. After trying to find what caused it it appears to be my mouse wheel. Since a few hours I apparently am able to control the volume with it, or turn off the sound completely. This happened while I was playing the game. I did not download anything, I did not do anything, I was just doing what I normally do. Now I can't scroll down or up anymore, I use my scroller alot and now the only thing I can do with it is adjust the volume. How can I put it back to normal?

    thanks

      Info please.  Operating system, make and model of the mouse. 
      Why is this thus?  What is the reason for this thusness?

        Oh sorry,

        It's a MI-7750R Wireless laser mouse

        ( http://img.pconline.com.cn/images/product/2025/202584/MOUSE_Trust_MI-7750R_sn.jpg )

        I am running Windows XP Home edition.
        I don't really know much of hardware, so if theres anything else you specifically need to know please tell me.

        That is by the way the only mouse I have that problem with. When I use another mouse it just works normally.

          I can't follow the link you incldued above, but I'm guessing your mouse should look something like this:

          The buttons should function like this:

          I'm guessing that you pressed Button E too long and switched your mouse to Media Control Mode.  Hold it down for 5 seconds and it should switch back to Normail Mode.  I would check the software that came with the mouse and see if you can disable the Media Control Mode, at least while you are playing games.

          Good one, Eg0death!

          I hate those wireless mice personally.

            I consider that to be a very strange bit of functionality.  I can imagine myself turning that mouse into a projectile when it switched over to Media Control Mode in the middle of a game, thus ending any and all functionality of said mouse.
