Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).: NO PROBLEMS! Just wonder if it is possible to get fewer lines when scrolling. It is set to 1 line, but I always get 3 min.

In what application - if I set it to 1 here it works for me... You may need to check the "Force scroll pages/lines" checkbox to force other applications to reload the scroll settings.

Also, does it work if you try it from the Windows mouse control panel (this is what XMBC is changing behind the scenes so probably it will have the same problem). Unfortunately some programs only read this value on startup, even with the "Force Scroll Pages/Lines" checkbox checked and in that case, you need to close and reopen the application (notepad++ for example) - nothing I can do about that I'm afraid.

Thank You Phil for taking time to reply! :)

Yes it responds to the settings itself in both Windows & XMBC!

I can see that In all browsers I get something like 3-5 lines as smallest movement. In Text-editors I do get 1 line. But I also asked thinking you guys if anyone would know if there is any possibility to modify this behavior?

When Using mouse in my flightsim, I use scroll-wheel to set different dials, and also there I would love to get smaller inputs to the game.
Do you think it at all can de done? I mean generally, not with XMBC. Maybe there is some utility or hack!?

Thank You and wish you nice hollyday season coming soon :)

Best Regards, David.
