I have Windows Vista and a optical scroll mouse. Everything worked
fine until a few days ago when problem arose. With the mouse I scoll
down a vertical list that fills a page. When the
screen shows the desired file that I wish to highlight, I stop the
scroll by releasing all of the mouse buttons and then attempt to move
the cursor to the file that I wish to highlight on the screen.

Unfortunately when I stop the scroll and attempt to move the cursor,
the entire screen automatically moves back to where the very top entry
of the page is listed, and I cannot highlight the desired file.

Any suggestions as to what I should do to rectify this? Is it an
adjustment for mice in control panel that needs to be performed?

1. What changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?
2. If you aren't sure, you can run a System Restore to when things worked.
3. Or try a different mouse. Does that work? If yes, perhaps the first mouse
is on its way to Mouse Heaven and needs to be replaced.

Go to the Mouse Properties and uncheck "Turn on Clicklock".
 
Thank's for both replies to my original post! I tried both
suggestions and they WORKED.
All is Well ! Best, Aaron
