Rolling wheel on mouse in not smooth on screen.

I have two PCs with XP and each is acting different.

On my latest setup, I get lines across my screen moving vertically when I
roll the wheel on my mouse. I am wanting a smooth transition when moving up
or down my screen as I work on programs. It is as if the page is jumping 2
or 3 lines at a time.

How can I get a smooth transition with my mouse?

Thanks in advance for you time and consideration.

Install the latest drivers for your video card. Never get drivers from
Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.
