Zooming with mouse wheel

Having loaded the Microsoft drivers for my mouse the scroll wheel no longer
zooms in and out in Windows Picture Viewer. Is there any way I can get this
back?

I know I can set mouse buttons for different actions in individual programs
but there don't seem to be any options for the scroll wheel.

Regards

Try a left click then scroll. This works for my setup.

Not for mine but thanks for trying. I have just discovered that the scroll
wheel button brings up my open windows for me to scroll through. It's never
done that before.

Hi, Periproct.

Different hardware? Different drivers? Maybe. Or in different programs?

On my Win7 x64 system with Microsoft Laser 6000 Desktop set and using
IntelliPoint/IntelliType drivers, if I hold down the Ctrl key while
scrolling, my icons and other screen features zoom - but not here in Windows
Live Mail.
