I have new information that may shed light on my problem with my mouse
wheel. The machine I am connecting to is running a Virtual PC in it.
If I minimize the VPC and just work directly with the host, the mouse
wheel scrolls just fine. It's only when I'm working in the VPC on the
host, that the scrolling doesn't work. Note also that if I move over to
the host machine and use its mouse directly, the wheel works fine. It's
only when I use the wheel from the viewer, on the VPC machine running on
the host, that I run into a problem.

To answer Mr. Woods' questions, the mouse on my client (viewer) machine
is a Microsoft wireless USB mouse. Other than having an applet to
simplify mouse settings (such as

Probably more relevant is the mouse on the host machine. It's a
standard Microsoft wired optical Intellimouse, although it does lie
behind a K-V-M switcher. That was never an issue in the past, and I
highly doubt it would be an issue now, but I'm just trying to provide
all information I can.

Are they 'odd' mice or just using the standard Windows driver? I have no
problem with an MS Intellimouse on XP machines, likewise scrolling on my
home machine with a Razer DeathAdder works fine (and it has a custom
driver
on top of the Windows AHCI base).
