Mouse Wheel Scroll support

I have been using Reaper for audio recording lately and I have really come to love the navigation controls. The mouse wheel zooms in and out of the tracks and scrolls with the mouse by holding down function keys. So, when I come back to NWC for midi I get frustrated with its navigation. I don't really mind the lack of advanced controls but I can't even get my mouse wheel to scroll. I didn't even think it was possible until I saw a post on someone wanting to be able to scroll vertically or in the print preview. I guess it comes down to what driver you have for your mouse. Does anyone know a driver I can download for my mouse? I have a standard Dell mouse. I also have a Logitech gaming mouse with lots of extra buttons but I don't know if would be a good idea switching drivers on that unless you guys think otherwise.
Any help would be appreciated.

G'day Dave,
I don't recall what's supposded to be supported, but while NWC 1.75 doesn't support scrolling on my PC, I DO get vertical scrolling in NWC 2 provided the work has more staves than are shown in the visible area of the window.

I use an Evoluent Vertical mouse at home and a m$ one at my office.  different drivers, IIRC both behave the same.
I plays 'Bones, crumpets, coronets, floosgals, youfonymums 'n tubies.

G'day gents, this question hs been up before. I can scroll in the editor or Print Preview of 1.75, no probs. Just a basic PS2 mouse with scrollwheel. I use an Aopen driver Ao133op.exe for all my PCs with various mice. The beauty of this driver is that with the third button or click under the scrollwheel, it brings up a little raft of actions, including "close", great for dumping those annoying pop-ups.
The driver is available on Driverguide.com.Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll try that. I do have vertical scrolling in NWC2 but I don't really care about that. Almost every song is going to be longer horizontally than vertically so most of the navigation will be from side to side rather than up and down. I think horizontal scrolling should have been supported over vertical scrolling so you wouldn't have to fool around with trying different mouse drivers.
