But through the on-screen settings, it's the first image shown above. It's secondary button or the middle button. So if you want the left button to scroll, you have to switch the right and left mouse button in the Windows control panel, making left the secondary button and right the primary.

So the single middle click switches into scroll mode, move the mouse up and down to scroll, and then single middle click to exit the scroll mode. It is kinda a pain to remember to scroll 1 way in some programs and a different way in others, but it was at least somewhat workable for me. Good luck!

I have a 3M ergonomic mouse and I missed the scroll wheel. The Scroll++ software works exactly as I wanted in Word, Acrobat, Notepad, Help, etc, but doesn't work in IE 7.0 or Excel 2003 SP2. Do you have any suggestions. Thanks very much. David I just found your Scroll++. I have a 3M ergonomic mouse and I missed the scroll wheel.

They did contact me about finding the authors of the software and I told them what I knew. They promised me a new mouse but I never heard back from them. There was no mention of copying this post to their site. I understand the need to do something quickly (post info on your website), but you still must do it the <em>right</em> way.

That's pretty shady, especially since they basically copied the info & instructions from this post word-for-word. Seriously makes me wary of buying one of their products. Since I know they aren't going to support & troubleshoot the "BT Scrolling Software", why should I believe they're going to do any better with their own products?

Laser will work on pretty much everything except glass or glossy surface.

However, today's HP mouse and MoGo mouse are better than the first edition that I received a year ago. This morning, preparing for a trip, I experimented with the above settings. On an aircraft one would like the mouse to respond to very slight movements, perhaps against fabric. It works well. But the adjustments are highly interactive, and I wonder if anyone else has hit a better "sweet spot" than the settings indicated. I am sure they're the same.
