Virtual Trackball Scrollwheel Service

Allows scrolling with a trackball or other pointing device without a scroll wheel by using a low level mouse hook.

Changes the behaviour of any X-Button (typically buttons 3 and 4) and when both left and right mouse buttons are held to scroll. i.e. vertical mouse wheel events, when an X-Button or both left and right buttons are pressed and the trackball is moved
