I have recently installed XP Pro along with the eval ver.
of MS Office 2003. When I try to move my scroll by
clicking in the open space of the scroll bar in moves a
whole page instead of the preferred half-screen that it
always did before. Any suggestions? Thanks
 
Hi,

Have you been to Windows Update since the installation? Was KB824145 on of
the installations? If so, it is known to cause this issue. The current
method to resolve it is to uninstall the update (control panel/add &
remove).

Thanks from me, Rick. That has been annoying for quite a while. I'll make
a note of the update (KB or Q 824145) and install it again when/if Microsoft
issue a patch for it

Microsoft finally fixed the scrollbar bug introduced
in November with Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-048
(MSIE Update 824145) in the latest Cumulative Security
Update for Internet Explorer:

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-004
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (832894)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-004.asp

Did you notice that there is NO explanation of the
repairs they made to MSIE for the double scrolling
bug introduced in the November update?

I guess it is only fitting since Microsoft NEVER
acknowledged the flaw in the original bulletin:

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-048
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (824145)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-048.asp

Instead, Microsoft customers are left to search
for confirmations of the flaw on their own:
