this is most likely in the "hackish" methods most touchpads use. I know I had this issue in many programs, and updating to the latest version of the touchpad drivers corrected it. But then again several programs like "Diskeeper" would crash still when attempting to scroll. Because there are 2 ways of "scrolling" it is the one method where it is directly read from the device's polling option, and the other is where it is posted to the active item. Not sure which one messes it up.

I can't reproduce that by using the mousewheel when the mouse is over the toolbar, however I know that isn't exactly what you are reporting.
MUSHclient tries fairly hard to use standard Windows messages and system calls, there is no fancy "polling" of hardware or any such thing.
Without your hardware to hand it is hard to see what is causing the freeze, as that would really need to be investigated with the debugger running.
All I can suggest is following Onoitsu2's suggestion and seeing if you can get later drivers.
I hate it when people tell me to do that, however in fairness to developers, I have bought a few games that ran erratically, and updating drivers, as the game manufacturer suggests, sometimes does indeed fix the problem.
