It the only complaint I have about VNC (and TightVNC) - friggin' mouse wheel doesn't work right. When you try to use it the desktop gets corrupt.
Anyone find a fix for this?
Thx...

I don't have any problem using the mouse wheel with the version that I have.. It works just fine.. Even the page scroll buttons on the MX700 work for me.. The page is kind of "skippy" but it still works after I've stopped scrolling it's fine. Does it become completely un-readable when you use it? eGo

Yes, the text that scrolls becomes totally unreadable. I have to minimize and then re-maximize the window it order to force it to redraw the text.

Hmmm, well I always assumed it was a VNC problem but I just tried it on another computer and it works fine.
Maybe it's the video drive on my server. I'm just using the crap default Microsoft driver. I'll upgrade it and let you know.

I always used MS Remote Desktop in XP and never had a problem with it.

Good suggestion Pred! Funny, I've never used Remote Desktop - works very well. Thanks!
