Horizontal Scrolling with Apple Magic Mouse

Post by duncang »

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro and a Magic Mouse and would like to replace my current XP guest with Win 7. After creating a Win 7 guest I discovered the horizontal scrolling does not work - it just results in vertical scrolling. In the existing Windows XP guest it works correctly. Can anyone confirm that horizontal scroll should work - there seem to conflicting views on this. If not then why is it working in my XP guest ? If so then what do I need to do to get it working correcting in the Win 7 guest - map the action to horizontal scrolling and not vertical scrolling.

Are there any VB settings to set the keyboard/trackpad combinations such as CTRL+Click for Right Mouse Button ?

Thanks

Mmm - not much response.

OK can anyone confirm that horizontal scrolling is working in any VM guest on any host - if so please provide details of which.

I have one XP guest working on OS X Host but have been unable to get another working. Strange - the one that works has a MS IntelliPoint PS/2 mouse drivers installed - don't ask me!

Thanks
