My problem concerns Internet Explorer 6 running on Windows XP Pro Edition. When I press Page Up (or Page Down) the screen scrolls by an amount which is more than a single page, it’s about a page and a half. Exactly the same happens when I click in the vertical scroll bar. This only happens in IE – page up/down work perfectly in all other applications (Windows Explorer, Word, etc.)
Tools-Options-Advanced-smooth scroll in IE 6 doesn't help either.
Any ideas how to fix this?

"IE6.0 w/latest update Q824145; running Windows XP Home Edition.
In the past when I placed my cursor into the IE scroll bar to the right (but not on the scroll slider itself) and clicked, it would take me down or up a page. Same as
hitting the PgDn or PgUp key.After downloading this IE Update, when I do this it takes me up or down 2 or 3 pages... skipping a lot of content.
Lots of folks here at the office reporting this today. Unintalling the update solves the problem. "

I have Installed the same Update myself with no Scrolling problems
Maybe only a problem with particular Mice ?

This seems to be a 'feature'.
If you right click the scrollbar you will see all the options. The 1stoption is "scroll here" which is now the default.
The amount you scroll depends on where you click. Click near to the scrollbar and you get a page up/down. clicking further away scolls more than one page.
MS must think this is useful, though I would rather have a single page up/down wherever I click in the
