    Mouse Scroll quit in Mozilla 1.4 and 1.5

    The Logitech Mouseware v8.03 scroll function just quit in Mozilla. It worked fine in the 1.4 before. Running win 98 se, AMD K6III-400, 192 Mb PC-100 ram.

    The settings are all correct in Mozilla. It works fine in Netscape and Opera and all other windows functions. I reloaded the mouseware, and loaded the newer version of Mozilla. Nothing makes it work again
    If it is working fine with no conflicts, DON'T up-grade it, Leave it alone, and count your blessings!

    If you are like me, sick of microsoft updates causing crashes, and making things quit working, inability to uninstall things, switch to Linux, where upgrades ARE backward compatable! Linux is FREE and Thousands of programs also are free for it!

    Back up your Mozilla Bookmarks; Uninstal Mozilla; Restart your computer; Re-install Mozilla.

    Likely the Logitech mouse is not supported. try a microsoft mouse you know works.

    You need to be running a firewall like free Sygate from http://download.com - type, sygate, in the Search box, you must be on-line to register Sygate, that is if you're not using a firewalled Router on a Network or, have another third-party firewall like Sygate installed.

    Get, install, update and run free Ad-aware (and its HexDump plug-in) from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

    I use a Logitech mouse but do not use the mouseware that came with it. It's an optical scroll mouse. No problems with Mozilla.

    Thanks Styx
    I have Norton, Zone Alarm and Adaware akready. The mouseware worked before in the Mozilla v1.4 fine, then quit. I thought something glitched my Mozilla and Mozilla suguested getting a newer build, so I got the v1.5. No change. It works fine in Netscape, and Opera.

    A microsoft mouse is out of the question. I hate microsoft and could not stand to have one in my hand, besides I use a trackball. I hate mice, live or electronic.
    -----------------------
    Mawil if I dont use the software that came with it, are you suguesting no software? I would not expect microsoft to have drivers in windows to run a Logitech Trackball. I am running Mouseware 8.03. Seems like before when I tried to upgrade to v9.?? it goofed something up, so I had to uninstall it and went back to v 8.03

    The scroll works perfect everywhere but Mozilla

    I've used several Logitech mice and have never installed the mouseware/drivers for them. They all work fine with W98 and W2K and have had no problems with Mozilla, which I have used exclusively for quite some time. I've heard that installing the drivers can cause some problems.

    The Fix !!!

    -I deleted the cache and cookies

    -I uninstalled the Java v1.3xx and installed the latest version, v1.4.2.03. Get it at
    http://www.java.com

    -I uninstalled the Logitech Mouseware v 8.03, and installed v9.73 get it at http://www.logitech.com

    -I uninstalled the Mozilla v1.5 and reinstalled the v 1.4 then the v1.4.1 I think that it actually was 2 versions there, as they both installed the same.

    I reinstalled the spell check for the v 1.4

    Anyway it fixed it and I am a happy camper, now all I have to do is add more ram, (I hope), to fix the slow responses calling up the bookmarks and save pics.

    I think the magic move was to actually UNINSTALL, not overwrite the old programs.
