Guest Trish Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 my laptop recently began to scroll to bottom of every window I have open as if I were holding down the left click at bottom of scroll bar. When I try and raise to top it races bar down again. Anyone else ever experience? Thank you

Make sure you get them for your specific model machine. If that doesn't fix the issue, see if the problem occurs in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key as the computer is starting up. If the problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode, I'd consider that perhaps some other program you've installed that is running in Regular Mode is interfering. You can do clean-boot troubleshooting to try and find the culprit.
