True Crime Streets of LA - Any way to disable mouse zooming?

[cuzbabytonight 2]

The camera mouse movement in this game is fine and functions as one would expect while aiming a gun, but when walking the camera is just awful. Moving the mouse left and right works normally, but moving it up and down doesn't make the camera tilt up and down, it just makes it zoom out or zoom in (it's the latter which bugs me). Is there any way to disable mouse controlled zooming, or a way to leave the zoom fixed in place, or maybe even make the walking camera movement behave the same as the one for aiming?

 

Edit: No, AutoHotkey won't work. Starting the game kills AHK for some reason and alt tabbing to re-enable AHK just makes the game crash.
