Hi Yakhunter,
If you "moved your mouse in the direction of the scroll", as though
you were racing it to the top of the minimap, it should have worked.
Did you End Task on the Keyboard and Mouse software?
No "official" news has been released as to if and when AOE III will
be developed or made public, but ES says the "wait is almost over":
