Crazy Scroll Wheel

Hello;
It's as a last resort that I'm reaching out to you for a little help before throwing everything out the window... (I'm kidding, but we're not far off)

Equipment:

Desktop PC
Intel Core i5-4460 CPU 3.20 GHz
Windows 8.1 (no, I don't want to install 10 for now)

Problem:

My old mouse having reached the end of its rope, so to speak, I bought a wired mouse - Trust WMS-121 Wired Mouse 4 buttons.
For the buttons and movements of the mouse, everything works perfectly; the problem actually comes from the scroll wheel: when I try to scroll a page, it "jumps" several lines or even constantly goes backwards; so it's completely impossible to use it normally.
I have the problem both online and on programs like Word or PDF Reader
there was no driver CD provided and the Trust website does not offer one.

What I have already tried:

- Changing the USB port
- Switching to an old mouse (same issue; it also "jumps")
- Trying to update my device; it is up to date
- Removing the mouse from my devices and reinstalling it

Can someone please help me?
Thank you in advance.

  1. Try setting the scroll all the way up, then switch back to normal settings... while restarting in the meantime...

    1. I just tested it; it's nothing; it still freezes.
