View Full Version : Odd Scrolling: A Puzzlement!

I just finished a clean, full reinstall of XP Pro, and all went well...EXCEPT this.
My display scrolls differently than I have previously experienced. Instead of "clicking" up- or downward by a few number of lines, the screen appears to reload (or rapidly flash) at rapid intervals - each time displaying the previous screen but showing it slightly higher (or lower) on monitor.

This is certainly not a critical issue, for the system appears to be working properly in all other aspects. It has, however, become a puzzle, and I'd certainly like to find out what has brought this about.

At first, I thought that I just needed to reload the drivers for my MS Optical Wireless Mouse 2.0, which I did. That made no difference, however. I've been searching through the Display portion of the Control Panel, but I can't find anything that would address this issue. Does anyone have some suggestions?

Is the box ticked for smooth scrolling in:

Start
Settings
Control Panel
Internet Options
Advanced
Browsing
?

(using Classic view)

Thanks, I tested this box. Checked or unchecked, the scrolling operates in the same manner as I described originally. :confused:

My first thought is video drivers. Did you reinstall these as well?

Alas, I did not install the drivers to the video card. :rolleyes: I downloaded the latest drivers and installed them. Probled disappeared. Thanks.

Good to hear the problem is resolved.
