i have been facing a problem from a long time.I bought a new intex optical mouse and it worked perfectly for 2 months and after that my mousewheel started behaving in funny manner.when i scroll the mousewheel it goes upward and downwards.Though mousewheel click button works perfectly.I have a habit to use mousewheel for scrolling up and down and its really irritating for me that i am not able to use it.This thing happened with my compaq mouse too but got solved automatically.

The spindle on the wheel may have been broken. Try finding another similar wheel with a good spindle and install it in the place of the broken one. If it doesn't work, like they said, buy a new one. Mouse are quite cheap nowadays.

Its just one of those things, computer mouses just dont last forever. i recommend you throw it in the trash and buy a new one immediately.
