messed up scrolling

I recently reinstalled Windows, and whenever I am in a program, it scrolls funny. It will refresh the screen vertically top to bottom very slowly as I scroll, and if I use the bar the mouse will lag until the screen refreshes. This problem is mainly in Firefox and IE, but also in the other programs. In Firefox's options, under advanced, disabling auto-scrolling and smooth scrolling just make the lines darker but also make it faster.

I don't know if you know what I am talking about, or if this makes any sense to you, but please help me out, because this really annoys me.

I don't think that the problem is caused by the software e.g. Firefox or IE. I think the problem lies in the mouse driver and Windows. Just reinstall the driver and see if there's any change.

I don't know where to get a driver, this is just a generic Compaq mouse....:confused:

A driver should have come with the mouse on a cd or soething.

If the problem is present with mice, mouses whatever the plural, then it is Windows. You mentioned that you had reinstalled Windows (what version was it?). I don't think WinXP should have a problem with a mouse.

Are you sure that all the files were installed. Was is a genuine Microsoft product. It may be corrupt. I'd reinstall Windows if I were you.
 
There was no driver-XP was preloaded

It is Windows XP SP1 as of right now, I plan to upgrade to SP2 whenever I get around to it

Yes it was genuine Microsoft....but I'd rather not reinstall it again...:rolleyes:
 
Bobo, if I where you I'd format and reinstall. Make a clean break for it. Do it this weekend, if you have the time, shouldn't take more than a few hours.

Oh, the weird world of computers that we live in....When I came home from schol today, the mouse was frozen, so i rebooted it, and now it works just fine (yes I had treied reboting previously) Don't ask me why this worked, but it did so now I am happy :)
 
Actually, now that I think about it...the funny stuff stopped when I reinstalled my drivers......thanks for the help
