I've been a good boy and have kept up with all the
Windows XP and Office XP updates. However, now when I
click on the scroll bar to page up or down, the screen up
or down scrolls 2 screens instead of 1. Using the scroll
up and down pointers at the top and bottom of the scroll
bars works fine most of the time (occasionally it keeps
me stuck at the bottom of the page, though not every
time.) It seems to have started fairly recently (within
the last week or 2). It certainly didn't act like this
with the factory (Toshiba) image, but Bill won't let me
into the interactive help because he says I need to
contact Toshiba. Any ideas?
 
"any ideas".....ideas...
Caused by a bug in the recent Q824145 patch.
Microsoft probably knows about it by now.
Fix will be soon.....hopefully.....
------------------------------
position cursor 'close' to the top/bottom of the
slider and it will scroll one window. farther away
from slider and it will scroll farther.

press on actual slider and it slides as you move mouse
(desktop computer...laptop will be using the button
or touchpad)

might try using the............
up/down arrow keys (adjust in keyboard properties
window).
pageup/pagedown keys do what is obvious.
home/end keys are too good to be true.

right click scrollbar
menu pops up
select an option
-----------------------------------
Fix for the recent scroll problem.
In display/appearance/advanced change the
scrollbar to size 1. This way you will be forced
to use the keyboard and/or mouse wheel to scroll.
--------------------------------------
try turn off smooth scroll...
Control Panel
System
Advanced
Performance [Settings] button
Visual effects tab
[_] Smooth-scroll list boxes
-------------------------------------
 
Well, those are workarounds, I suppose, but it sure
doesn't work like it used to. Anyhow, thanks a lot for
the ideas. Guess I'll just wait for Bill to fix the bug
(or is it a "feature", since it's documented??)
