339382 2005-03-29 08:09:00 My OE scrolls on page down/up instead of jumping to the next bit.All other Win98SE progs jump.
I have put a Smoothscroll disable value in HKEY Current user .... etc etc in the recommended place, but no change.

Solution anyone ??

339385 2005-03-30 22:09:00 Hi Tony

Just to clarify this, your page up and page down keys actually causes Outlook Express to scroll line by line up/down the page instead of jumping one page size down at a time? What does the Home and End keys do? They should jump to the start and end of each page - does this still work ok? What happens if you use these keys in Internet Explorer?

Go to Internet Explorer's Tools > Options > Advanced > Browsing and remove the tick from "Use smooth scrolling". Hopefully that will do the trick.

339387 2005-03-30 22:30:00 Hi. Had already done that. But thanks !!! TonyF (246)
339388 2005-03-30 22:57:00 Has OE always scrolled or did it recently start happening? I remember I had a similar problem in some program not that long ago but can't remember which or how I fixed it. I think I reformatted... :p :D

You have already been into your mouse properties in Control Panel, I take it? Have you got TweakUI installed? That has options for fiddling with scrolling, etc.

As a last resort you could reinstall your graphics drivers as I see elsewhere that has solved other mouse problems though I don't know if it would work for you.

339389 2005-03-30 23:02:00 Hello Jen. Only just noticed your message.OE Home/End keys jump properly. It is Page Up/down that slowly scroll. In IE, page up/down jumps.
This is what I did in the dreaded Registry :-
Registry Settings
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{Unique Identity}\Software\Microsoft\
Outlook Express\5.0\Trident\Main]
Value Name: SmoothScroll
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
Set it to 0 disabled.
All very odd ...

339390 2005-03-30 23:29:00 I think the real question is why your page up/down keys on the keyboard have suddenly decided to take on a smooth scrolling function in OE only? You haven't enabled any quick/function keys to your keyboard software (assuming you are using drivers that were supplied by your keyboard manufacturer rather than default MS drivers)? Weird. Jen (38)
339391 2005-03-30 23:36:00 No qf keys - all bog standard. Weird indeed.
