abhi2011 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Wait, why are you putting in the add-in dll in your Desktop? Put it in a folder in the root of your system volume or System32 (I'd recommend the former) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticGlum Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 @[member="Abhi"] I don't think it matters but I'll change it to System32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It matters. I helps reduce useless Desktop clutter. (I'm guessing I and many people hate having junk on the Desktop). And, if you delete the file without un-registering it properly then it'll leave registry entries. Better to have it someplace you won't accidentally delete it.

Mohenjo Daro Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Figures, I still get an error doing this (win 10)… Oh well, guess I'll just have to scroll with the bar XDFor everyone else, it should work on your system, mine's just messed up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeNjO Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I use an .exe that enables it, it runs at Windows startup so never worry about it.Heres the puush link, feel free to scan it etc.http://puu.sh/l3wE1/e5c1a8ba46.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growlith1223 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 What's the point of a .exe if it's just a registry addition, go into settings, click load/unload and never have to worry about it ever again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeNjO Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I don't see any option?Fyi the .dll fails to register following the guide too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growlith1223 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I have yet to have a problem when using this tutorial even on windows 10 so there's something you're obviously doing wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalacticGlum Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 ^^ I followed my own tutorial and it seems to work on every machine I do it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohenjo Daro Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I know that some windows 10 computers get an error, to fix it, follow these steps:1) [**DOWNLOAD THIS**](http://www.mediafire.com/download/zhfara5ihk10c4o/VB6ScrollwheelFix7.zip) (place it somewhere you won't delete it)2) Run Task Scheduler3) Create a new task4) Name it something you'll remember (VB6 Mouse Scroll Fix works)5) Create a new Trigger, in the drop down box, select run at login (or start up)6) Create a new Action, where it says Program/Script, click Browse and find the VB6ScrollwheelFix.exe7) Go to the General tab and click the check box (at the bottom) "Run with highest privileges"8) Click Ok, then close out of the Task SchedulerIf this still doesn't work, then go into the folder where you put VB6ScrollwheelFix.exe and right click it and go into the "Compatibility" tab and select "Run this program as an administrator", click Apply and exitI think this is all I had to do to get it to work properly (Thanks to Genusis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeNjO Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 But that's basically the same thing I said I'm doing, but making it a scheduled task rather then a start up program.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
