I have seen some people fix the scrolling problem by using a certain driver (an older version) or by making registry hacks, but FreeWheel is too simple to worry about messing with any other method. No nag screens or any indication it's even running except an icon in the system tray.
A quick check of my Task Manager reveals it only uses about 2400k of memory, one of the lowest in the list.
UPDATE 2006-09-08 - Thanks to Calvin Taylor for alerting me to a Microsoft KB article regarding this topic. Microsoft has their own add-in for the VBA Editor that you may be able to use. I have not tried it though. See: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837910

Thanks for this info. I had been wondering why my mouse scroll wasn't working and know I have a fix.

In what other applications besides VBA does your wheel not work?
VBA is the only app in which I need FreeWheel to work, which it does.

I keep a copy of MS IntelliPoint 4.12 which fixes it for me, even on XP.

Thaks for link, again surprised how much means the keywords in search. For a long time i was searching for this kind of tool, to enable the Scroll in VBA Editor. After installing this program (FreeWheel) it was amazing , the code was scrolling =). But some minutes later i found a link on MS Office site, on Assistance page, wich was offering a solution for this bug, a native one - VB6 Mouse Wheel Fix. I have installed it, and also was working fine. :)
