Scroll wheel bugged in WPF applications

I have an issue that on one computer applications developed using the Windows Presentation Foundation have my scrollwheel all inverted. I scroll 'upwards' and the control in question will go down. And vice versa. Other programs are not affected and scroll just fine.

I have searched a lot, but I can't seem to figure out what might be causing it. I am using W7 64-bit.

Things I have tried or might be useful to know...

Anyone have any clue what setting is hiding where that's messing my WPF applications up like this?

Edit:

The following, when put on a populated listview, gives the correct message (down for down scroll, up for up scroll), yet it will still scroll in the wrong direction. What the hell?

private void listView1_PreviewMouseWheel(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Delta < 0)
        textBox1.Text = "PREVIEW DOWN WE GO.";   // no we end up going up :(
    else
        textBox1.Text = "PREVIEW UP UP UP.";     // big letdown here.
}

(The plain MouseWheel event won't fire, hence the preview variety.)

Holy crap, I just figured it out. It suddenly hit me.

I have me Mouse wheel set to 'scroll one screen at a time'. I never thought anything of it despite going over that window a dozen times looking for an 'invert scroll direction' option I might have checked.

Setting the setting to scroll a given number of lines per notch on my wheel fixes the scrolling, although I don't get my expected paging.

This is plain buggy coding on Microsoft's part. First I spend half a day searching the internet for TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display" so my forms don't look like total crap, then I spend a small eternity on another issue which thankfully had a simple setting suffice as well. And now this. Am I just hitting all those little roadbumps nobody else seems to hit or care much about? :/

(Apologies for answering my own question again, kind people. I've done it the last few questions despite searching for answers on the matter for hours. Ugh.)

There is absolutely no reason for this to happen. Have you tried running the problematic application on other computers.
