After you install one of the products that are listed in the "Applies To" section together with the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite keyboard,
you may find that earlier scrolling devices, typically mouse devices, scroll at a much slower rate than
they did before you installed your new keyboard and software.
You may
also find that your pointer does not move as far on the screen in response to
the actions that you take with the old mouse that you used before you installed
the Wireless Optical Desktop Elite.
Note This may happen when you install any Microsoft keyboard with the tilt-wheel feature.

This issue occurs because the tilt wheel on your Wireless
Optical Desktop Elite and some other new Microsoft devices with the tilt wheel
have a higher resolution (more wheel counts per rotation of the wheel) than
earlier devices. The computer that has the new software installed is calibrated
to work with a newer device so that when you use the old device, the scroll
wheel on that device must rotate four times as much as the new device to send
the same number of wheel counts to your computer.

To work around this issue, use one of the following
methods.
Note You may not want to complete this workaround because it will turn
off the new features such as the tilt wheel and horizontal scrolling.
