Page Reloading/Refreshing bug???

X-No-Archive: Yes

Hi - ok here's my prob...
this happens when I look at any webpage, open up any software.
(i) when i try to scroll up/down with either mouse or arrow keys, the screen
or page advances what seems to a line or two at a time, then reloads or
refreshes.
(ii) in addition to this when scrolling down then move my mouse pointer, the
page defaults back to the top, which is annoying.

yeah i've turned the scroll lock on and off, pause break on and off, screen
resolutions properties are ok, i've reset my monitor too. all of these don't
resolve it. so any of you guys out there know what may be causing this?

i'm usin' xp home & all relevant software is up to date.

thanks
cuppa-t

 

Are you using Norton Internet Security or similar? Boot in to safe mode
with networking (with Windows firewall enabled) to test.

hi danny & ng - i'm not usin' norton, tiz avg on my pc

 

have you got one of those touch mouse pads? could be a problem with
that.

 

Are you *sure* you're wating for the page to finish loading? Some java
enabled sites can take a *while* to load and java pages don't show
progress like html really.

 

X-No-Archive: Yes

reply to you both.
.... my optical mouse & mouse mat is fine, and its not particularly
java related. as i mentioned in my original post, "when I look at any
webpage, open up any software"
it occurs on or off-line, hence i been checkin' the keyboard functions,
screen res properties and my monitor setup.

thanks for the replies thus far

 

Perform a system restore back to when it was working fine.
You may have installed software that is not compatible with XP.

 

This could be caused by a bad/corrupted video driver or a defective
video card.

More info would help.

 

How much ram do you have on your computer? What make/model. Do you know
the speed of the processor? What Operating system do you run. None of
this was mentioned.

When you look down by the clock on the bottom right, how many icons do
you see besides the time?

 

X-No-Archive: Yes

1GB Ram, 2.40 GHz, AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3400+, XP Home +SP2 +updates, 4
icons beside the clock. using 15GB of 200GB HDD.
Thanks for joining the thread to hopefully resolve my problem.

 

Bingo: the startup. Try this: start->run msconfig<enter>
remove the checkmark beside startup and restart. It will ask you when
windows come back if you want to undo the changes, say *no*. See if that
fixes the problem. Note: you might have problems reading open session
CD's with this change. To fix that, go back into msconfig, click on the
startup tab and check the line that corresponds to your cd writing
software. *Don't* check all of them as this will mean all those programs
will be slowing down your computer again.
