Thanks for the info, Ray. It sounds like you've confirmed what I found. `None' (`Disabled' in your version), at any level (general or just for `emacs.exe') means no event is sent to Emacs. But of course for you it works. ;-) As it did for me, until recently. A setting of AutoScroll works for you, and it used to work for me. For me, a setting of AutoScroll still yanks, but it also initiates autoscroll. Guess I'll need to find a way to replace the driver I have with a generic one. But I'm not sure how to do that. Thx - Drew
