Yes I have some older apps as well that won't scroll. The driver basically
cheats (I think) by not sending the actual scroll message but clicks
(messages) to the scrollbars in apps where scroll message isn't handled
properly. It's probably less than 1k of code in that 10Meg download that's
actually doing anything
