Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I've reinstalled the mouse software and done everything else I know to do to no avail. Any suggestions?

Does the wheel click work in other program? Does the crosshair work in MT when you click the button on the platform?

Yeah, the click wheel still works in other programs. Yeah, I can still click on the crosshair icon and it works. I don't know why, it just quit working. It won't even select the chart window I click it in, it doesn't even seem to recognize that I've pushed the thing at all.

I ended up just uninstalling the mouse software completely and just rely on the Windows component. It doesn't move quite like it did, and yes I did adjust in Windows, but at least I got the crosshairs back.

I lost it on mine as well. My mouse defaults and uses it to switch windows that are open.

If there is a short cut of keys to get the cross hairs up you can configure your mouse wheel to do that function. I have not found a shortcut for that function.

When I click on my scroll wheel to see crosshair, and then leave the mouse - I get jumped to the last current bar on the graph.

Can someone help me to fix it?

Don't know if this is worth a try, but go to Windows Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse. If you're running Win XP, then on the Buttons tab there should be a "Wheel Button" option - this should be set to "Middle-click".

Does changing this setting help?
