Although you didn't specify which driver version you are using, I would
guess it is Intellipoint Version 5. If so, that driver is flawed and
doesn't work correctly. Microsoft offers a "fix" for the mouse wheel
scrolling problem in VB6's IDE at this web page

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837910

but some consider this a half-hearted solution which still leaves
problems (you still won't be able to scroll a FlexGrid control). Other
possibilities are

VBScroll:  http://www.gasanov.net/VBScroll.htm
