Coming from the "All Choked Up" Department, a Chatgnomie, FuzzyWolf, found a freeze freeing function. Seems as though most programs accept the mouse wheel without intervention. However, there are still a few apps which refuse to use the most wonderful invention since the... wheel. If you don't have a wheel on your mouse, I guarantee your productivity isn't as high as it could be. This Gnomie smacked into one of those non-compliant binaries; it kept locking up during normal Wheel use. If the program stops responding, it's time to take further action. Fire up your Control Panel and double-click the "Mouse" icon. If you have the Intellimouse software installed, you'll find the "Troubleshooter" button just a click away under the "Wheel" tab. Continue to press the "Next" button until a dialog pops up, asking you to select the stalled program. At this point, it attempts to remedy the current situation and stop it from happening in the future. Consider the trouble -- shot.
