Edit: Wow, you guys are good! My mouse suddenly functions properly again :D No idea what the problem was or what fixed it but still if someone has some information it would be good to know for the future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi. Forgive me in advance if I am not giving enough information as I am not the least bit savvy in this area.

 

 

 

I run Windows XP with a very basic 3 button Logitech mouse. Suddenly the scrolling wheel will only work when scrolling up. When I try to scroll down it moves about 3 lines and then stops completely. The problem is universal, not limited to just certain programs.

 

 

 

Any ideas for fixing this?

Smash it on something hard. That usually works for my electronics.

Either that or try end the process called SetPoint[Caution: Executable File] (press Ctrl Alt Del to get to Task Manager). It does more damage than good.

Ok, it has stopped working again.

Didn't work for me.

I am not running this process.

 

 

 

Any other ideas?

If the mouse wasn't that expensive, just buy a new one. I doubt you have some sort of a warranty for a mouse, but if you just want a 3 button mouse with a scroll wheel you can get those for like $5.

reinstall/update the driver Logitech.

 

 

 

Also if it is wireless you could try changing the batteries.

I'd just assume the mouse is broken or is slowly dying on you. Their are some things that are worth trying to fix but for me when it comes to broken keyboards and mice just replace them.

I agree, it must just be giving out. Thanks all.
