i'm having problems getting my wheel to work in quake 3.
i've upgraded to the latest point release of quake 3,
and that doesn't seem to help.
 
i have a microsoft wheel mouse optical. i'm using the
intellimouse 4.0 drivers as well. just using the basic
windows xp drivers for the mouse didn't work either.
 
i really like to use the wheel to switch weapons. is
anyone else having this problem or knows how to fix it?
 
system specs are here [anandtech.com].

Go to your q3config.cfg file, and change the value "seta in_mouse" to "-1"
 
It worked for me (i got the same mouse as you).
 
Good luck.
