I have had my Mac Mini since June last year Running OS X.
I have noticed every few months I start getting scolling issues.

A Few E.G....
When I open Camino & go to book marks, It scolls all the way to the left. If I grab the scoll bar with my mouse I can stop it. When I let go it carrys on again. I did uninstall camino. But when I reinstalled it did it again.

The exact same thing happend with Firefox...

My Entourage does the same when I open an e-mail. Only that scrolls up ward..

Recently When I open Excel it scrolls right to the end of the sheet..Left to right..I cannot stop it from doing so.

I have tried repairing permissions & scripts. Today I even tried reinstalling Tiger again (That usually cures it, Not this time) & did all the updates for both OS X & Mac Office...

I am now at a loss as to what to do....

Can anyone help with very annoying reoccuring problem.

I am running OS X on an WD MyBook External drive. I booted from the MacMini internal drive & the same problem occurs.

I hope I have provided enough information...

Can anyone help..Please

Thanks

I am using the Logitech MX Laser With The Mac drivers installed.

Does anyone else use this mouse with Mac OS X?

Thanks for the reply btw

Anyone else have a solution?

Cheers
 
Have you got another mouse handy? Might be the scroll wheel is dirty, try another mouse if you have one and see if that helps.
 
Thanks For The replies.

I have been & got another mouse & so far so Good :) .

I did try another mouse & the problem ceased.

So We will have to see..but it sure looks like it was the mouse :( .

Thanks Again for the help
 
how to fix your mouse....

1) unplug mouse from mac and plug in replacement

2) find external solid brick wall and take aim

3) throw mouse as hard as possible

4) repeat steps 2 & 3 untill mouse is in a thousand pieces

5) place mouse in bin while singing 'amazing grace'

hay presto... problem solved...


Sorry, couldn't resist!
 
The Apple Mighty Mouse was always good for me (still got one for heavy MBP usage), but my first one's expose button (left-side button) stopped working :mad:
