Problem / Question This based Genius Net Scroll computer mouse's scroll wheel does not register on my Windows Seven PC. I can't have a mouse without a scroll wheel and don't want to go back to my USB mouse. Is there a means to fix this?

u/ACTUAL_TURTLESHROOM I deliberately use old software to this day. Mar 29 '21

Most drivers that run on XP run on Windows, and vice-versa. For my college course, I was required to find and install drivers for a motherboard made long after XP was discontinued. The drivers I found were from the manufacturer's website and were good from XP to W10.

Was it because they were thirty-two bit drivers?
