Computer scrolls by itself

broken image

I am running Windows 95 on a 166 mHz Compaq Presario. But I tried to follow your advice about running the program 'msconfig' from the Start/Run line and found that my computer doesn't have such a file (I searched for it and it's not there). Q-I read your column every Monday and I enjoy trying out the helpful tips. Thereafter, moving the mouse backward and forward makes the whole screen scroll.Īll you need to do is click the wheel a second time and the pesky thing will stop.

That wheel is called the automatic scrolling wheel, and once you click it, the cursor changes to that dot plus triangle affair. Your husband apparently is clicking the little wheel at the front of your newfangled mouse between the left clicker and the right clicker.

Anyway, the object of your frustration is neither gender-related nor a bug, Ms.
