My machine is still playing up. Keeps scrolling on its own, just as though someone is reading the lines. I have tried re-booting but to no avail. Hubby and I are both beginners at this technical stuff so I would appreciate any simple suggestions. cheers penny.

if you have XP you can do a system restore to before the problem started.
You can always undo it if it doesn't help.

Have you a scroll wheel on your mouse? worth looking to see if that needs adjusting, seems it must be to do with the mouse.

Pooter expert will be in soon Penny and I'll Tortu... Extrac... ask his advice when 'e comes in....

Definitely not the mouse. I just open a page, sit back and it scrolls up and down at will. Strange it has stopped doing it since I put the query on here.cheers Penny.
