    Purchased refubished T21 with Win98SE on 20 gig hard drive, which I planned to setup as a dual-boot Win98SE/Red Hat Linux.

    Split HD with partition [10gig/10gig] and formatted. Installation of Red Hat no problem.

    Reinstallation of Win98SE 99.9% successful. Display, sound, modem, battery-miser, etc.. all OK.

    SMALL PROBLEM - The scroll wheel on optical "no name-$6.00" mouse is INOP !!

    Tried another mouse - no good. I "appear" to be missing a driver ??

    I have downloaded [and burned to CDs] about 12 to 15 drivers/files from the IBM web sites.

    Among them:
    Configuration Package ....
    T.P. Utility Drivers III for Win98SE
    T.P. Win98 Supplements Files V

    None of these got the scroll wheel going !!!

    Anybody got any ideas and/or "specific" file/driver names to suggest ??
