Computer mouse, that is!
It's one of those with a wheel in the middle, so scrolling is really easy...
until today.
Normally, roll the wheel backwards, screen scrolls down, roll forwards, screen scrolls up. Simple .
Today, roll back, screen scrolls down a bit, then stops, so roll back again, screen scrolls up!
then it alternates, screen going up and down like Sludge having a dream about some old slapper.
Driving me nuts!
The Ball probably needs a clean up, sometimes the old ones get a bit gunked up.
Is Scroll lock on?Quote:

Driving me insane.
try a mouse mat :facepalm:
I use my laptop touchpad. My cursor was freezing and was driving me potty. I'd been unable to update my anti-virus for five weeks after working away with poor internet. As soon as I updated it, the problem disappeared.
Do people still use a mouse? How quaint
Feed it on a nice mat and buy it a ball
Before you bang yourself on the head too much :xmashehe: you don't need a mouse mat with an optical mouse.Quote:

BobH - have you got another mouse in the house (hoots mon!) that you could try?
If so that might narrow it down regards whether it is a physical problem with the mouse itself, or some setting / problem on the PC.
Only other mouse is a very old one with a ball, no scroll wheel, so won't help.Quote:

A very good IT professional I worked with told me that they are difficult to wash because the water gets inside. so the best way is to clean them with malt whisky on cottonwool because the whisky evaporates and deosn't leave a lasting dampness.
however he did add that, considering the cost of malt whisky by far the best method was to drink the whisky then throw the mouse in the bin and ger a new one, it's cheaper.
Try adjusting these settings.

I cleaned the ball, then changed the mouse (the new one didn't come with an installation prog, so nothing to re-install); changed the mat and still it happens. The only way I've stopped it is to dribble a bit on the optical glass (I dribble a lot these days). Then it's OK for a bit.
If I didn't know better, I'd think it was some sort of earthing prob - that, or the mouse is downloading seepage from my brrain.
^^ think your keyboard is a bit fecked also mate - look at the gobbledygook coming off of that thing .
Just press on the scroll wheel once:xmasthumbup:
