RC = Release Candidate.
Windows 7 = Vista killer (aka newest OS from Microsoft).

Oh, thanks Mike

Now that you mention it I do remember the W7 term but the RC stumped me.

Randy, it’s possible you may need new drivers for the mouse then, especially if it’s an older one.

You may be right Allen and I will check to see if there is one but it’s highly unlikely that this (MS) mouse will have any updates for Win 7 since it’s just now in RC status.
Also seems starnge that the mouse performs as expected (including the wheel) in all other programs…it just doesn’t zoom in V8.
I’ll report back if I find a solution but in the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions please fire away.
I read somewhere about running/installing things in a “compatibility” mode to where win 7 can run programs all the way back to windows 95!
Thanks,
Randy

Good news:
there is indeed a MS site for updated drivers at https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/windows7/support.mspx

Bad news:
the update for my mouse didn’t make a difference….crap!!!
I gotta have this feature!
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks very much,
Randy

I have the same problem. Running Vegas 8.0c and 8.1 in Vista 64 bit on (4)different workstations and am unable to zoom in/out with the Microsoft wheel mouse. Driver updates make no difference.

Strange…I had no problems in Vista 64.
Are you still running Vista 64? If so how do you zoom in and out?
Thanks,
Randy
