Wonder if anyone can help.

If i open a folder on my computer say for examply my music folder and i have a big list if im scrolling down and move my mouse slightly it scrolls to were ever it wants.

Its a pain if im looking for something and i go to put the arrow on it and it scans off to some were else grrrr.

Had his problem for ages so will be made up if i can sort it.

auto-scroll perhaps, happens to me in school but the problem got fixed the next by the admins they must have changed a setting by mistake

Were can i change that mate?
Ive got a feeling its not that as it happens if i go to my volume control if i move my mouse round it will move the control slider then aswell.

i do not know wish i did but i don't

No probs mate thanks anyway.
Anyone else know please?

On mine I can right click on the desktop and click personalise



click mouse pointers



play with the settings. (this is based on you OS being vista)

ive tryed that and it doesnt have any settings to change for the problem im having, im on Vista too.

do you use a laser mouse? Is there a hair inside?

Yeah its a laser one but its clear, its so weird say you have a big list in a folder and you go to click on one but move ur curser to it first it will scroll to something else.

Wireless?
Mine does that when the batteries are getting low

Your middle mouse button is stuck down, stop spilling beer on it

Had that problem myself, new mouse sorted it, but try cleaning mouse first.

If your on a laptop try disabling the Tracker Pad there a pain and if your a real fast typer sometimes you hit the track pad by mistake.. If you dont have a laptop get really technical and open your mouse and give all the contacts a good blow to remove dust as some mouses have infra red contacts for the scroll and sometimes dust gets loged inbetween and it needs moving..

This sounds like what it needs but it doesnt scroll on its own when im on web pages just inside files and in the fonts list on photoshop things like that.

Virus?

If it is then the top software on my computer aint picking it up, its secure to the hills lol

Remove your mouse.
See if it happens when your using the touch pad (If your on a Laptop).

Try a new / borrowed mouse.

It can be a fault with the mouse.
And it may have software that allows tricks with the buttons
when in windows (Files) and not in a Internet window.

Sounds like a faulty mouse

Good Luck.
