procedure.
1. Open The Device Manager.
2. Double-click Mice and other pointing devices, and then double-click the name
of the mouse you want to configure.
3. On the Advanced Settings tab, in Wheel Detection, click Look for wheel.

Panel. Double-click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.

- A mouse wheel may work differently from program to program. For example, in a
word processing program, you can rotate the wheel to move up or down the page,
equivalent to using the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN keys on your keyboard, or to
clicking above or below the scroll bar.
- If your
mouse does not have a mouse wheel, the Advanced Options tab may not
appear.
