Hi Art, I wonder if there is just something changed in your system Preferences. In Lion, Apple introduced something called Natural Scrolling where scrolling happens the opposite to the way we were accustomed to in previous versions of the MacOS. I know for sure that this messed up many of us who use Trackpad scrolling and I'm wondering if it affects mouse scrolling as well. I don't have a mouse handy at home here as all my machines have Trackpads or Magic Trackpads. In the system Preferences, in the Trackpad pane there is a checkbox that I have unchecked for Natural Scrolling. There may be the same sort of option in the Mouse pane of System Preferences. My guess is that if you uncheck it, your mouse should go back to what you're accustomed to.
HTH. Later...
