Side Bar out of Control

When I bring up a news group, it runs out of control with the sidebar
running all the way to the bottom. And I can't bring it back to the top.
The only way I can do this is to unplug my USB plug which controls the
mouse. Once I do that I can pull the sidebar back up to the top just
perfectly, by using the mouse pad on the laptop. If I plug the usb plug
back in (for the mouse) the sidebar crashes to the bottom of the screen.

I am using a M1710 Dell Laptop. It works great but this problem of the
sidebar running out of control while the usb mouse is in use, is a new one.
At the same time the screen saver won't work either.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated. I have the latest
service pack installed as of last night and that didn't help. I am running
Vista Home, and I installed new drivers for the areas concerning the
usbports and mouse. No luck with any of that.

It's called a 'scrollbar '. The sidebar is on the Desktop where the gadgets live.
It sounds like your usb mouse has a problem.
Have you tried another one?

Perhaps even try a different USB port to see it the problem still
exist.

If the ports are numbered, say 1-4 I put the USB mouse and keyboard on
1-2.

Don't pay any attention to this moron. It seems he accessed his personal
services and disabled "Brain Function." Markey, head on over to alt.morons,
where you belong.

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

 

Disable Sidebar or go back to WindowsXP

 

I totally agree, that moron is unable to spell correctly either.
And grammar is disastrous, looks like Mark graduated from Arctic University
