…just a general ‘puter question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 11.2003

…all of a sudden, my screen scrolls crazy…if I’m in notepad, the page just scrolls whenever and wherever it pleases. The focus() seems to go somewhere other than where it should be…is this behavior an act of a dysfunctional mouse, or do I have another, immediate problem inherent to my OS?
BTW, it is somewhat of an irregular pattern…sometimes it does it, and sometimes it doesn’t…

Any clues…?

@DaveSWJul 11.2003 — Accidentally pressed wheel on mouse?? my mum got into a panic when she saw my screen scrolling along - hadn't realised she'd pressed the wheel.

Other than that, dunno. reinstall drivers? buy new mouse? resinstall OS?

Success!
