Windows question... NEED HELP

*Kid Icarus* · 11-16-2003, 03:18 PM

Okay, for any of you tech swavy people on here... I NEED HELP!

My windows are scrolling on their own. It's happend before... and it's getting really annoying. I've virused scanned, I defrag the HD a couple times a month, and the most recent program i've installed is Mozilla 1.5, that was last night (it can't be that, because it's done this before).

Anyone know whats up? How to fix it? I really don't want to reinstall Windows.

BTW, I run Wk2 on here.

Hmm, I occassionally had my windows scroll by themselves when the touchpad on my laptop got the ***** with me. I don't know what sort of mouse you have, but you might want to go and look for any driver updates for it, perhaps uninstall any existing mouse drivers and reinstall. It's possible there's a sticking key on your keyboard as well. If you have a scroll-wheel mouse, maybe the scroll-wheel is acting up. If possible, try swapping the keyboard and then the mouse with another one to see if that does anything.

Other than that, I'm stumped!

It could be a damaged keyboard or mouse. You should try with diffrent ones to know for sure.

my laptop does that sometimes.....ignore it. Eventually it will shape up again and will work normally.
