Problematic scrolling

[craigw]

Hi,

Can anyone help me here ?

I have an intermittent problem on my PC where pages automatically scroll to the bottom of the page - constantly - even when 'dragging' back to top or rolling up with mouse. This happens with both Web pages and any document/screen opened on PC larger than single screen size. I've reinstalled drivers for mouse and this appears to work normally i.e. it will navigate around a page but will not stop auto scrolling to bottom.

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition on an 'old school' Time desktop PC.

Athlon XP 1800+

1.54Ghz 480MB RAM

 

Had PC for couple of years now, no recent s/w or h/w changes.

Problem had occurred before, last year sometime - but no big issue and cleared after reboot. This time round it's pretty much constant and will happen on all screens (web pages, email, Word documents, File Folders etc.).

I don't need to be scrolling or using mouse to experience this 'rolling', page or document will open and automatically start to move or 'bounce' up and down monitor !

 

Any Ideas ?

do you have an updated av....NOT NORTON.....download ewido from http://www.ewido.com and updat it,do a full system scan....do an online virus scan here.http://www.trendmicro.com...remove anything found on both....now do a hard drive defrag..see if it persist.

Yes, have AVG 7.5 regularly updated and on scheduled system scan, also run Spybot - both results clean.

ok download ewido though it isnt av,,,its a spy/mail/adware remover.........do a scan with it......then do your defrag...and still do online virus scan.
