This just started happening a couple of weeks ago. Only
in Explorer. When I click on the scroll bar between the
button and the arrow, whick is supposed to give me one
page movement at a time, I get about a page and a third.
I have checked all mouse settings, XP settings, looked up
in help, and knowlege base and got nothing.

This only happens in explorer, no other application,
window of otherwise. Any help appreciated.
 
I'm using Windows 2000 and the same thing started
happening a couple weeks ago. I hope someone has the
answer.
 
Caused by a bug in the recent Q824145 patch.
Microsoft probably knows about it by now.
By the time we get used to this 'new'
feature Microsoft will fix it!!
------------------------------
Maybe this is the way scrollbar is 'supposed' to work:

Position cursor 'close' to the top/bottom of the
slider and it will scroll one window. Farther away
from slider and it will scroll farther.

Use the mouse wheel to scroll.
See mouse properties to adjust wheel.

Press/Hold/Slide actual bar.

Use keyboard shortcut keys:
Up/Down Arrows (See mouse properties to adjust)
Pageup/Pagedown (This is what you want?)
Home/End (Top/Bottom)

Right-click scrollbar...
Menu pops up...
Select option ("Scroll here" is neat!)
-----------------------------------
 
This started happening to me today as well. Let's keep
our fingers crossed that someone out there will come to
our aid!
 
.......just checking back to see if there's any news on
this scroll bar 'patch'.......
