Tech question: One mouse click makes my scroll bar go down 2 pages.
It started happening about a week ago and it's driving me nuts. I haven't fiddled with my mouse settings, and everywhere else on my desktop a single click is a single click. This happens on every window with a vertical scroll bar: When I click in the space below the bar, the window scrolls down 2 pages instead of 1. Any ideas?

1. A possible answer
When you click the mouse wheel on blank space on a web page, an up-down arrow shows up, and you can speed scroll.

When you click on a link with the wheel, it opens up the link in a new window.

You may be able to go into the control panel folder on your system and change the settings.

2. I've been having that problem this morning as well.
I found it I put my curser right below the bar it works right.

3. IE Update?
Micro$haft had an update for IE6 a week or two ago that is causing scrolling problems.

4. That's probably it. I switched on my auto update function
after the latest worm attack. Thanks for the info.
