Finally found the answer for this and it's simple. Just go into the Mouse under Control Panel, select Wheel and at the bottom add MPLAB to the list of applications to exclude from universal scrolling. What's better, once you do this the wheel works like it should, just some incompatability with the universal scrolling.. May need to get the intellimouse 2.0 update, since that's what I have.
