hi, prior to updating to windows 7, scrolling the mouse wheel with the cursor over the mini map would zoom it in or out, now however it just zooms in or out of my character. while not anything near a game breaking issue it is something that bugs the hell out of me and if anyone knows how to fix this it would be much appreciated.

edit
in addition i have discovered it is like this in the inventory menu as well, i can not scroll up or down through my inventory with the mouse wheel, i have to click and drag the bar

cheers

My first guess is that you have something ELSE in Windows defined for your mouse wheel function and you have recently changed from playing FULL SCREEN vs WINDOWED FULL SCREEN (or visa versa)? Mouse functions will work differently in those 2 modes (simply because the game and the OS are fighting over what the mouse buttons should do).

i believe i was playing in windowed mode previously but the auto detect changed that when i set the client up on windows 7. now i am playing 1024×768 resolution, had a look under the controls and it wouldnt even give me the option to bind mouse scrolling so i dont think it can be bound to anything.

edit without having changed anything i now randomly have the ability to scroll through my inventory again which is something
also i tried going back to windowed mode but for some reason it looks terrible now

Windowed Full Screen uses the resolution you have set up via Windows desktop. Note that if you desktop is NOT set up for the native resolution of your monitor, higher end graphics WILL look horrific.

You have to select the resolution you want for Full Screen. You should select the native max resolution of your monitor.

Glad to hear your mouse wheel issue seems to be fixed.
