Due to a recent addition to the family, I have been playing mouse-only. I
used to be able to use the scroll button on my mouse to rotate the camera
up/down/clockwise/counter clockwise. All of a sudden, I couldn't any
more...

Help!!!

I'm sure you know that scrolling it zooms in and out. To move the camera
around, you push down on the button then move the mouse. This just
stopped working altogether?

Yup. It was working fine, and then I went into a building. Once I got in,
it wasn't working. Once I got out, it still wasn't working...

What have you done recently that might have caused this?

What about the camera mode? Is it Chase cam, Top down or Driving camera
mode? (Top down, I think, is default)

Options -> Controls in case you're wondering...

Oh, and "Enable screen edge camera turning". On or off?

Not sure, but when I exited NWN, I noticed that Norton AV had started
background scanning. Once i stopped that, and restarted NWN, all was
better.

Ah, figures it would be something like that. I always turn off Norton
before playing, just in case.

I turned Norton off, uninstalled and installed AVG. It's much less
intrusive than Norton and "FREE"

Played with all of those while trying to figure it out before I posted
here. (Screen turning was also turned on)

Like I mentioned in my other post, it turns out that NAV background
scanning did something. Turning it off and then exiting/restarting NWN made
it all better.
