Your mouse might be bad or you could have a virus or infection that has hijacked your mouse. Boot up into safe mode and see if the mouse is ok. Then download and install MalwareBytes and run a Quick Scan.

Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn it back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE MODE. Take the Safe Mode With Networking option (this will give you internet connectivity) and let it boot up. Safe Mode will look different to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this is normal. When it boots up, open your internet browser and download and install MalwareBytes and run a Quick Scan.


Go to www.google.com and in the search box type: "Download cnet Malwarebytes" (without the quotes). Download and install malwarebytes from the sites download.cnet/malwarebytes. When the site opens up click on the Green Download button on the left. Do not click the Red Download button, that's junk. When it finishes installing the Gui Interface will open up with an offer to Accept a Trial Version or Decline. CLICK DECLINE you want the totally free version. Run a QUICK SCAN. As it scans, if it finds infections the number will be in red. When it finishes scanning, click SHOW RESULTS. A notepad text document will open up showing you the results. You can close the text document and go back to the Gui Interface where you will click REMOVE SELECTED RESULTS. The objects will already be selected for you. When it finishes removing the objects click ok and it will sometimes reboot your machine.


If the above steps does not fix the problem:

Try another mouse and see if it scrolls.

SOURCE: default mouse scroll not working

That can be fixed. Either press F9 because it forze or press:
CTRL ALT DEL

This is called task manager. It will end any programs. Just don't click so much!

WHEN I TRY TO SCROLL WITH MOUSE THE SCROLL BAR AUTOMATICALLY MOVES UP AND DOWN

Sounds like the wheel switch on top of the mouse is stuck in the "on" position. Pick up another mouse at computer store and try it. If that fixes it, great. Just as cost effective as trying to repair the bad one (good luck finding the tiny wheel switch).

How do I turn off the automatic scrolling feature? a mini scroll bar appears on the page and my attempt to move the cursor instead moves the page up and down. Most annoying. I've tried the scroll button...

what OS, XP? operating system? is it?
using only one mouse? the built in mouse pad or it and a plugin mouse at USB port? or external wireless mouse.
we cant see what you have there, nor what are are using now.

if the PC is not infected.
click control panel, the click mouse icon there, bingo change mouse actions.
or reload the HP mouse driver.

Wheel will not do just a standard scroll

You should make sure that you have the LX7 Setpoint software installed to set the features you want. For the scroll button or button three if pressed, I have mine set to zoom (first selection). The scroll function of the wheel should be automatic. Go the mouse movement settings and set the scroll size to 6 lines. That should allow you to scroll your pages adequately. If this helps send a reply for others to view.
