Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / October 2007Computer possessed?
Hi! I'm hoping someone can help me. There have been a few times when I'm online and suddenly when I try to scroll down the page, it continues scrolling on its' own and is literally uncontrollable. At the same time, a cursor appears in the search bar and scrolls across by itself. Very werid, and makes me wonder if I have a virus, or spyware on my computer already. I've only had this computer for less than a month, so I hope not! Any info. anyone can offer would be appreciated. Thansk! It happenes if you click the mouse wheel down, which you were probably doing while scrolling > Hi! I'm hoping someone can help me.

Thansk! You have not got a virus, serious problem, check out the mouse setting, slowing down your scrolling speed may help, there is nothing really wrong. Just click on the 4 sided figure that appears and scolling will stop.

Thansk! I have changed the mouse settings, and it made no difference. Also, there is no four-sided box that appears. I am just about at my wit's end with this. It's happening too often. See my above reply to Slim Rabbit. Any other suggestions? I need to get this fixed a.s.a.p, because it's interfering in my abiltity to view websites, email, etc. > You have not got a virus, serious problem, check out the mouse setting, > slowing down your scrolling speed may help, there is nothing really wrong.

That's not what's causing it. At the same time, a cursor will move by itself across the address bar, search bar, etc. In Inbox, it selects an email by itself, and won't let me select the email I want to see. I have tried shutting everything down and re-booting and that doesn't seem to make any difference. > It happenes if you click the mouse wheel down, which you were probably doing > while scrolling [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > Any info. anyone can offer would be appreciated. Thansk! By the way it is not "possessed' Happy witch hunting, (Woops I mean computing) SignatureRegards Bob J > Hi! I'm hoping someone can help me.

Thansk! Sometimes this happens if you are scrolling with the mouse wheel and the wheel gets stuck between indents. SignatureFrank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com > Hi!

Thansk! With some mice, if you click on the scroll wheel and then pull up or down the screen goes into a auto scroll. The speed of the scroll is a function of how far down or up you pull the mouse. The visual cue for when you have set this is circle with a double headed arrow in it. Click on the scroll wheel again to cancel the auto scroll. >> Hi! I'm hoping someone can help me.
