How do you activate the scrollwheel on a mouse in Windows 2000 so that when rotated, pages scroll down in Internet Explorer 6? I’ve tried two mouses with scrollwheels and both can’t scroll any website. Only pushing the scrollwheel downwards can make a website scroll, but I don’t like that method: rolling the wheel is easier.

Isn’t that normally, like, automatically switched on? :h:

I guess you could search around:

Start \> Control Panel \> Hardware \> Mouse

But that kinda depends on which mouse you have (I think). Maybe it’s switched off or sumfin.
