scroll bar moves in jerky movements, can u help??

hi everyone, im new to this forum thing so i hope someone can help me,
ok, when im scrolling down the page, with the scroll bar on the right,it does not come down as one smooth movement, instead it looks like its all jerky ,as if its going down bit by bit
can someone tell me what it could be, do i have to adjust something??

i hope you can help me with this, thanks everyone chris

 

It could be you have a slow computer... ?

 

thanks ripper, but ive had this before when ive built a pc, but i cannot remember what i adjusted, i have a amd athon 2000+ pcu and 480 of ram, that what i read on the pc in the system file, also what you read in the system page is 480 what i have or 480 what i have left ?? cheers anyway my friend chris

 

Try clearing your cookies and cache and then doing virus/spyware checks.

 

cphicks, Just on the off chance, could it be your mouse setting,for EG: if your using the mouse wheel, it may be set to SKIP more lines than you want per click of the wheel. Worth a try?

Cheers.

 

hi onya, well my mouse is one of those thathas a ball frr scrolling , il check that out thankyou, not sure what to do but il check mouse settings on pc ok thankyou again chris

 

cphicks, I know it sounds kinda weird in a way to suggest that it may be the mouse, but stranger things have happened(LOL). Like ripper said, hope you've got good antivirus etc. I use CRAP CLEANER once every so often to rid my system of cookies and so forth. It's never given me any probs at all(vers 1.36.430) Let me know how you get on.

All the best Chris

Cheers for now

thanks onya, well i have avg anti-virus,zone alarm so i do check my system alot il tell you something tho mate, seems funny that i re-installed windows xp home edition and thats when i noticed it,i need a program that will tweak my sytem, i tried tweak-xp pro but had trouble working, i tried re-installing it 4 times no luck, thanks anyway onya, chris

 

hi everyone ok heres what ive found out so far ok, i d/l a program that reads and defrags my memory,on my memory i have 480 of ram and 204 mb is free, does that help anyone to solve this mistery ????cheers everyone chris

 

cpchicks,

I have just re-installed windows on my computer which has worked fine otherwise for over a year now, and I am having this same problem. Have you happened to find a way to fix it?
Ill let you know what I figure out as I work on this problem.
Thanks!

I think we can safely say it is not the mouse settings.

 

If an older mouse, have you tried removing the ball from the bottom and cleaning the contacts inside?

 

I can say 100 % that this is not a problem with the mouse.
The computer went from scrolling perfectly to being jumpy after re-installing windows.
You pull the tab down on the right side and it takes time for the screen to catch up to where you placed it, and has a wave effect.
thank you though!

 

hi bluewee ok i went to the pc shop, and they said it could be my graphics, which on the k7 is built in, so i have bought a graphics card and il let you know how it goes ok mate cheers chris

 

thank you, I will install the drive for my graphics card again.

 

hi bluewee well guess what mate i done it at last my little grey matter in my head solve the problem, i went to the motherboards web site and d/loaded the driver,once it was on pc it was in a win rar format so i un compressed it and put it in another folder, then i opened it up and clicked on set up and yippeee it set it self up and its ok, so if you cannot load it on from your cd, which came with motherboard the go to the motherboards site look fot downloads and find graphics driver ok. hope this helps mate all the best chris
