Mouse wheel causing problems.

by valier Dec 21, 2003 2:24PM PST

I'm using an IntelliMouse, have driver 5.0.174.0 (from installing the lastest Intellipoint software). Mouse wheel is set to autoscroll.

The problem I'm having is that when using the mouse wheel to scroll on a web page (explorer 6), it will at times either cause the webpage to jump to a place I already was, or jump to the previous page. Sometimes it will jump forward to where I was looking at, sometimes not. Also see the same thing when in a regular window (such as my documents).

Try this. The security patch 824145 causes web pages to jump...

Clicking on the scroll bar should normally cause the pages to scroll up one at a time, but this patch has caused this side effect.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=824145 describes this patch and http://www.google.com/search?&q=824145+MOUSE finds people complaining about the side effect.
