HELP... the scoll bar in IE 6 is all screwed up on my system!

When I click on the scroll bar itself (not the box contained within) it jumps one and a half to two spaces instead of one. When I try to click and drag it sometimes returns to the bottom.

Anybody know how to fix this pain in the a**??? It's REALLY a headache.

Thanks.

I am no expert, but it does not sound like a problem. You sound like you are mouse dependant.
Learning the keyboard is helpful.

Moving the scroll bar also can be done ( and at slower rate) using the UP or DOWN arrow keys on the keyboard.

Sometimes it will not move. So mouse click on a
blank portion of your current web page, then use
the arrows keys.

Tony ... there have been a number of posts on other boards similar to your complaint (Annoyances.org-XP forum). Seems from the talk that the problem arose concurrent with installing the latest WinXP Critical Update. You might check

Hope this is helpful. L

My scroll bar has been like that from day 1 (factory install XPHome/SP1). I just use the scroll wheel on the mouse. That's right, I'm "mouse dependent" also.
