You could try Eclipse 3.3.. I don't know of any changes why it would work in
one or the other, but I have a MS Wireless Natural Laser Mouse 7000 and
don't have problems with Eclipse scrolling (and I previously had a MS
Wireless Laser 6000 and similarly no problems).

I the past I had problems with a Logitech mouse not scrolling in MS Visual
Studio and in that situation the driver provided a "basic" and "advanced"
scrolling with an option to turn off advanced scrolling in some
applications.  However, I don't see anything like that in the Intellipoint
6.2 software.

I would recommend calling MS support--they may not help since problem is
only with Eclipse but in the past I've been pleasantly surprised with the
quality of MS hardware support (stress: hardware).

Good luck.

Subject: [flexcoders] Vista, Eclipse 3.2.2 and a Microsoft Mouse

My old mouse went to the big cheese factory in the sky and I replaced
it with a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. The problem is that the
scroll wheel does not scroll source code in Eclipse 3.2 (the scroll
wheel works in every application other than Eclipse).

I tried uninstalling the Microsoft IntelliPoint 6.2 driver reverting
to the generic mouse driver and scrolling began to work in Eclipse,
but the next time I booted my machine I was back to a having a
disfunctional scroll wheel.

I did some Googling and apparently there are other people with the
same problem (scroll wheel does not function with a Microsoft mouse in
Eclipse), but I haven't seen any solutions. Has anyone here had the
problem and found a workaround? It's a real pain not to be able to
scroll through my Flex code with the scroll wheel....

Thanks!

Paul
