In order to see all of the thread titles I click down each one, but lately the computer has taken over, and auto-scrolls all the way down unless I move the cursor to a thread **before** it gets to the bottom. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks Quasi ---

I was in a rush and didn’t give you enough information… First off, it’s one of those **Logitech** mouses, which has a marble built in, so you move the marble to center the cursor and left click or right click normally. I’ve only had it three weeks, and it started doing the auto-scroll thing just recently, so I don’t think it’s had time to get dirty. As to my system, it’s W98 SE on an IBM clone with Cel III P 400, and 128 megs of RAM. Thanks for taking another look at this post! Quasi
