LOL, I just upgraded to 10.04 and my mouse wheel stopped working! Man,
I was pissed. I googled all over and found nothing but one silly
person saying to take apart the mouse and remove all the dust. I gave
up. Just as a sort of silly after thought I opened up the battery
compartment and blew in there as hard as I could. Out of the corner of
my eye I saw something shotting out of the mouse wheel. The mouse has
been fine ever since.
