Hi. Everything has worked fine for a long time. But for
the last couple weeks or so, when I click the scroll bar
to page down/up (that is, when I click in a blank section
of the bar), it scrolls SEVERAL SCREENFULS at a time! So I
currently have only 3 options: (1) click the up/down
arrows repeatedly to scroll a line at a time; (2)manually
drag the button up or down the bar; or (3) be content with
missing most of the page!!!

Can someone help, please? Thanks in advance,

Marco

to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

True, but this isn't an Outlook Express problem/feature either. It's XP. I
think it came with a recent security patch, and it's considered a feature.
It exists in Outlook and IE too. Click close to the scroll button and it
moves one page, click farther away and it moves more than one page. So if
you usually park your mouse near the bottom and click away, it's a pain.
Seems like there was a fix for it or a way to control it, but I don't even
recall what I was reading when it was mentioned.
