Answer» Dont know if this is a hardware or software problem, so I start here....and please Moderator move it somewhere else if it's not appropriate here...
When finally changing from good OLD W2K to XP Home Edition(I know, I'm late...) I got problems with the scrolling of Website pages. Using a Logitech Cordless MouseMan Pro (very old...lol..but hey, it worked in W2K WITHOUT problems) the page(s) do not steadily scroll down but seems to kind of wave (as in : turning over the pages quickly in a book).....as if it has to remember the next click or is "late to react"......it does that both with a mouse with a wheel and with a mouse without the wheel...I have W2K still "in" and XP only on a partition, but well...any ideas? (Honestly I dont think it's a mouse problem, because it works fine in W2K....the options for the mouse do not include smooth scrolling..this OPTION is "on" in IE70 though....)
Info: using both W2K and XP with all their SP's and patches....I even use IE70.....just because I NEVER EVER had problems with IE60 regardless what other people might say about Uncle Billy's stuff....lol..this is really the first time... :-))))))))))))))))))How much RAM is in that machine? What graphics card? Did you turn off all of the XP eye candy?2048Mb RAM, Sapphire Radeon X300SE(?) in an AMD Athlon 64 3200Mhz and yes it's a student version, unattended but without all the bloody gimmicks from Uncle Billy....butwell, yes I installed the IE70....oooops?
Asus A8N-SLI, nForce4 etc etc on the sapphire CD: ATI Graphics....?Well, that weird Maybe we still need to install mouse drivers when using IE. lolPerhaps the unattended install CD included only generic MS mouse drivers...these won't be enough for a cordless MouseMan...Good one Patio...but i imported a brand new driver for the cordless and still it didnt work...even the option in IE for smooth scrolling was "ticked" and when I reset the standard the same option stayed the same with the smooth scrollong ON...maybe i shouldnt have installed IE....lol...but Opera or Firefox...Well, it's not too late for Opera and/or Firefox. Give one of those a try and see if you have the same problem.Used opera, same problem...lol... Just curious....... is the mouse USB or PS2?PS2Where did you find the driver for this mouse? I'm not finding anything on Logitech's site.You have to install videocard drivers.
Windows can always find default drivers for mice that are sufficient enough to ensure smooth scrolling, but it can't always find videocard drivers and those cause the screen to break up when you scroll. raptor is right about the mousedrivers...................lol, asked my norwegian rpovider and he got me one...lol...I'm a good customer...
But the videocard driver is still the same as at installation and when I ask for a new driver, the PC said, no new drivers found....and why dont I have this problem on W2K?Probably because of XP's bloat. Try reducing hardware accelleration.

Does the videocard device show as a question mark or exclamation mark? You should download drivers from the manufacturer.
The reason you do not have this problem on Windows 2000 is probably because your video device is outdated and no longer supported by default under Windows XP.

Don't you have moderators to PISS off?
