Regrettably the Wheel mouse will not work with Atlantis under Windows 95.

Does your mouse use additional software in order to work on your computer?

Yes,I installed Logitech Wheelmouse software/driver eons ago. Have used many, many different text and word processing programs and this is a first. <br><br>Also, since I first posted, I re-installed Atlantis Nova just in case, but still no mouse scrolling. &nbsp;

Most Wheel-mice (with a few exceptions) should work with Atlantis under Windows 98/NT/2000/ME. The mice that use additional software to emulate the Wheel, might not work with Atlantis.

Can this be fixed? I use Thinkpad Trackpoint with third mouse button, and the scrolling feature doesn't work. &nbsp;As far as I can tell, Atlantis is the only program (out of 100+) programs I have in my laptop that doesn't allow me to use the scrolling button in my Thinkpad.<br><br>Thanks.

Regrettably the wheel operations are not supported by Atlantis on Windows 95.<br><br>Also the Wheel mouse should work in "MS IntelliMouse" compatible mode (should support windows that do not contain standard scrollbars). Atlantis has a nonstandard window.

I don't use Windows 95. &nbsp;Running Windows 2000 SP2. &nbsp;As I said, this program is the only program that doesn't seem to work with my Thinkpad scroll button.

I run Win98SE and until recently could not get my mouse wheel to work with Atlantis. &nbsp;I was using Logitech's mouse drivers. &nbsp;They may work with others, but not with me. &nbsp;I downloaded and installed MS Intellimouse drivers and voila, the wheel now worked with Atlantis. &nbsp;Just a suggestion for those of you still stumped. ;D
