How do get my mouse wheel to scroll differently?

Go look in the control panel and mess around in there.

For firefox:

“Here’s how to change the default scroll speed:

1. Open Firefox, then type about:config in the address bar and hit Enter.

2. In the Filter box, type mousewheel.withnokey.

3. Right-click mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines and then click Toggle. This should set the value to False.

4. Right-click mousewheel.withnokey.numlines and then click Modify. Bump the value to 6 or so, click OK, and then switch to another tab to see if you like the scroll speed. (Thankfully, you don’t have to restart Firefox every time you make a change.) If not, experiment a bit until you find a number you like.

Hold down alt to switch back to line at a time scrolling.”

If you’re not using firefox or experiencing problems in another program this will not help you at all, sorry.

Ok I fixed it but had to put on the slowest setting to do so… weird. Oh well, thanks for the response!

I would have adjusted the Mouse settings in the Control Panel. There should be a Wheel tab where you can change the vertical and horizontal scrolling.

What @Zyx said will only affect Firefox, not anything else on your computer like file windows, documents, and other browsers.

You may have a special driver for your mouse that isn’t best accessed via the Control Panel. My Logitech mouse, for example, is best controlled (and modified) if I run the Logitech mouse setup program. (I think that I ‘can’ control it via the CP, but I have issues with the laptop touchpad, too.)
