Hey everyone

 

Just got on my PC this afternoon and I go to webpages and I cannot scroll down using my mouse's scroll wheel. I then try on Steam and elsewhere, and same again, cannot scroll down. It makes a kind of stuttering motion going down ever so slightly, then goes back to the top again. It's really annoying.

 

Can I fix this somehow? Restarting my PC did not work.

any cheap spare mouse in the house?

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

No spare mouse, sadly.

 

To move down a page I need to use the bar at the side of the screen and click-and-drag. I cannot scroll upward either once I have gotten down a page.

okay, seems like your scroll wheel is broken, usually it's a misalignment or the damn thing is starting to fall off so you need a new mice anyways..

 

Until then here's a tiny trick , don't know if it will help you  out & depends on your mice , Start with a middle click on the mice or click down the scroll button while keeping the mice pointer dead at the cente of the page (or somewhere you can leave a free handle) usually a virtual scroll dialogue appears & you can move your mice pointer up or down from that handle for the page to scroll, try it & tell me if it works for you..^& middle click again to discard the handle

Details separate people.

Yes, that's still working fine. I've been eyeing up a Logitech g602 anyway so now I've got a good excuse to buy one :P

 

Delivery tomorrow haha. I'll just have to survive :)

 

Thanks everyone for your help/suggestions!

Try using google. That's what I do when I have a problem :)

Telling someone to use Google is against the CoC.

No, it's just a microsoft wireless mouse.

 

It kinda fixed itself, but got worse again, and is to and from. It's also a little jumpy around the screen, but it'll need to serve for another couple of weeks I think. Oh well.
