Internet explorer scrolling all by itself !

Very annoying problem when you're trying to read a page and it scrolls up or
down or very erratically !

Anyone else had this or know a solution. I did change a setting after it
first started doing it which didn't fix the problem. The setting I changed
was smooth scrolling.

What I will do is change my mouse to see if the scroll-roller (or whatever
it's called again I forget, it's not thumwheel is it ;-) ) has a problem. I
will put just a normal PS2 mouse on for now and see if that makes a
difference.

Thanks for any help out there.

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?

If the thing that changed was that you installed IE7, then post in the
IE7 newsgroup *after* you spend some time reading through the posts
there. The IE7 newsgroup is:

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

There are a huge number of posts so it would be smart to start by going
to Google Groups Advanced Search. Use a search term that describes your
problem, constrain the search to the IE7 newsgroup and the date to very
recently.
