    Using VMware Workstation 6.0.4 build 93057 on a Windows Vista Home Premium.
    VMware tools 7.2.9 build 93057, any help? Thanks!

    EDIT: D'oh! I found a solution! Maybe I should use Google search before I post...

    EDIT 2: For people stumbling on this thread wondering how I did it heres the link...

    If you can't get to that page here is what it says...

    __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____________
    In case where using guest Linux under VMware, mouse scroll does not work.
    To fix this, open terminal and type the following:
    sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Then find "InputDevice" section with Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Change Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
    to Option Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Last restart X using Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. NOTICE: This restarts without confirmation.
