Don't roll your mouse wheel? If you're using Windows 98 or later, there's
usually an option in the control panel for the mouse where you can define
the function of the wheel.

 

Well, yo could say which mouse you have. Driver software for them
varies and you may have some whizzy jobbie software that does this for
you.

 

it is a dell mouse I got used for $5...I just plugged it in...no software
came with it and I didn't download any..I am using windows 2000

there is no option in the control pannel that relates to mouse wheel. Also
not using the wheel is not really what I want to do, because the desire for
a mouse with a wheel is the reason I replaced the mouse.

I have had this mouse for several months and do not remember this
happening.... this was never a problem untill this month.

Do you have Tweak UI? It has settings that can do this. Or,
presumably, undo it.

The November cumulative update (824145) broke the
scroll in IE. Get the latest (February) update.

Oh!! thanks, that must have been what all those "important update from
microsoft" emails were all about...I've been getting tons of those. j/k

thanks for the help now it is working.

You're welcome.

 

No!...those are viruses. MS will never send you email about updates. Get
them from Windows Update at microsoft.com.
