Scrolling/Dragging

[Kayman]

I have a small annoying problem which started some time ago.
When scrolling down a page, using the wheel on my mouse, or, when dragging a
(minimised) window, the movement is very, very jerky - it used to be much
smoother.
I accessed Tools==> Internet Options==> Advanced==>Uncheck "Use smooth
scrolling", but this does not make any difference.

System Information:-
Platform: OS Microsoft Win32 XPPro Version 5.12600 SP2 Build 2600
Processor: x86 Family 15 Model 3 Stepping 4 GenuineIntel ~2400Mhz, Pentium4
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.0.2900.2180, Total Physical Memory 512MB
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with Hotfix (KB8866903), Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0: x86 (KB829019), XP Hotfixes and Security Updates are current,
(automatically downloaded/installed).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions as how to rectify this annoyance.

Can't be certain, but I had a similar problem and I discovered fine hairs and
some dust had lodged inside the mouse between the wheel and the "led" reader.
After cleaning it out, it worked fine.

PS, I have a cat that sits on my mouse!!

If wireless, reassign channels.

No, I have a dial-up connection.

If wireless, reassign channels.
