Mouse Scroll on Laptop

I have a new laptop that came with Windows Vista. I recent had to format the
hard drive and re-install Vista. That went pretty smoothly.

Problem is that sometimes while dragging the mouse cursor across a window,
Vista tries to hold the mouse cursor in the center of the window and and
mouse movements scroll the window, not move the mouse cursor.

How do I turn this feature off? I never want a window to scroll unless I
explicitly grab and move a scroll bar.

Thanks,
Randy

The auto scroll function that activates when using my touchpad is the most
annoying thing in the world. I'm here reading this forums, hoping to find a
way to make it stop. It's seemingly random and ends up costing me time and
effort. I don't know if it's a VISTA thing or an IE thing, but I hate it.

Help? Someone?
 
Bridget,

I found with mine that the left side of the mouse pad is a scroll bar. If
you restrict your finger to the left 2/3s of the mouse pad you won't have a
problem. I never did figure out how to turn the scroll function of the mouse
pad off in Vista.

HTH...
