BTW, my computer is a Dell XPS710 desktop running XP. The mouse is the Premium Opitcal Mouse and the driver is the generic driver that loads with XP from microsoft. WoW, EQ2, LOTRO games all work fine with my mouse scroll button. Sins does not. How about it Tech. Support?
Actually, in my case it has never worked at all.
Last post on this issue was August of 2008.... For me the game is not playable without being able to use the scroll wheel on the mouse, so the game is just gathering dust ATM. So perhaps someone in the tech. department (Seabass?) could comment on whether or not Impulse has fixed this problem in a patch? Other games work fine, so it seems like a Sins issue to me. I tried to search this forum for "scroll" and "scrolling" and "mouse" to see if there is any upda
Kryo... you are right of course, one could use the V and B keys, but.... it'ts very hard to control the amount of zoom so you end up zooming WAY out, and then trying to zoom in SOME.... opps... too much... then zoom out just a little bit... opps...... etc. etc. Now.... add this to trying to learn how to play this game, and it seems zooming is pretty common, so not being able to use the clicks of the mouse wheel to control the zoom makes the game not playable, at least for me.

I just downloaded 1.05 and scroll wheel still does not work, making the game unplayable. Scroll wheel works just fine in Everquest2, in World of Warcraft, and in all my normal desktop apps..... just not in this game. Please fix this!
Thanks Retro!! I have printed out your reply and will follow your advice. I appreciate your taking the time to include lots of ideas... Between doing the tutorials a few more times (and not feeling so stupid for not seeing immediately whats going on), running the demo, and checking that thread out plus your starter instructions-- I should be able to get started. Thanks again! /scruffies
Ive played lots of EQ and World of Warcraft, but never RTS or this new RT4X type of game, and after trying running the first and then second tutorial, I really had no idea what I was supposed to do. Seems like the AI is doing lots of things, and I am unclear exactly what I am supposed to be doing. One unfortunate problem: my mouse wheel does not work at all with this game (works fine with my other games). I can use the B and V keys to zoom, but kinda hard to control
Seabass.... thanks for your response. No, I am not aware of any app. software that makes special use of the middle scrolling wheel on the mouse. And, scrolling works fine with Excel, Word, the Internet's Yahoo, World of Warcraft, Everquest II.... basically, this game is the only software that does not recognize the scroll wheel. Seems to me it's probably something on the SoSE side, especially reading this thrread and the verious other users experiencing the same problem. <
Adding my post to the list: My scroll wheel does not work at all. I am running XP on a Dell with Dell (really Logitech) mouse and current drivers. Scroll wheel works fine with all other applications, including EQ2 and WoW. I got as far as the tutorial asking to zoom, and could not do it. I read on this thread about the v and b keys, so those worked and the tutorial continued, but really annoying that mouse scrolling will not be available. Hopefully its a bug that ca
