Yes, sorry about the description I gave. I can log into windows but the
mouse pointer won't move at all and similarly when I use the keyboard it
doesn't type and doesn't provide access to anything in windows.i.e when I
usethe keyboard to type or use the keyboard shortcuts nothing happens the-
keyboard is non responsive.

To answer your question more directly-the mouse doesn't scroll.

I'll get make and model later today.

Many thanks Tim Vieweg.
