Kensington Trackball scrolling not working. Tried downloading their MouseWorks 3.0 driver from their website. I remember using the scrolling wheel because Leopard has this cool feature that you can scroll a window even though it's not the active window and then the scrolling stopped. Leopard 10.5

Works for me. I'm using the TrackMan Wheel. I didn't do any driver installation.

I was thinking that maybe it was because it was plugged into my New Style Apple Keyboard - So I unplugged it and plugged it into my Powered USB HUB but no joy. Oh well maybe the thing just crapped out on me - pity because I really liked it but since the scroll wheel doesn't work it's not as useful. Maybe I'll get an Apple SuperMouse or whatever the new one is called . . .

I grabbed a mouse from the PCee that has a scroll wheel
and it works just fine.
I know, I know all this over a stupid broken trackball scroll wheel. . . .

Glad you found the culprit Tom. I hate it when I spend hours troubleshooting something software when its my hardware that has failed. I had that experience recently with my home wifi router. The wired router was fine, just the wifi portion of it was crapping out.
