Solve : uncontrolled scrolling?

Answer»

When I visit a page on line the page will scroll up, I don't do it, I can't get it to go back. When this is happening I can go to Start, Programs, and the highlight is running down the list of programs column by column, over and over. I changed out the mouse, that did not help. I thought my video card was overheating so I put my old card in and that didn't help. I've run virus checks after updating my virus protection, I've gotten new update drivers for the video card. So now what? Any IDEAS? I'm down to thinking the motherboard or monitor.
AMD 64, 3000+ socket 754
gigabyte mobo (I don't remember the number)
the monitor is 5 years old, CRT 17" Viewsonic
video card is Sapphire 256mb AGP 8xStuck key? Can you borrow a keyboard as a test?I tried a new keyboard with the mouse, I can reset the computer (I have to use the reset button) and it will usually be OK for ANYWHERE between 5min and 1hour.Are you using a PS2 mouse? Can you?I currently have a cordless optical mouse, and cordless keyboard. I traded them out for ones with cords, PS2 mouse, unless both of them are bad too.... I hope not.
Thanks, I will look around and see if I have anymore I can change out to make sure.Thats a WIERD One !!!.....could there be a short on the M/Bord.... Gunked up near the fans ??

Yeah, it is wierd. It's hard to describe to people whats happening. When I thought it was the video card, I blew all the dust out of the case and off of the fans thinking it was overheating. I EVEN left the case open, just in case. But as for gunk, I didn't look for gunk, not sure if anything besides dust could get in there but I'll CHECK it out this morning when I get home.
ThanksI thought I replicated your problem by holding my finger on the up curser arrow.
I have no trust in usb ports or cordless for the keyboard or mouse.Ya know,
that's pretty MUCH what it looks like, I know I have another keyboard at home,(benefits of getting all the old stuff from family) so I'll hook it up and check it out. It's almost new so should not be bad.
ThanksIt appears you were right about the keyboard, I put a new one on and it seems to be fine. Thanks for the help! I never even thought about that.
Thanks again 8-)
