- Mouse Keeps Scrolling Up When I Scroll Down Meaning
On my Windows 7 system, and in all programs, when I scroll down with my mouse, it will scroll partway down then then scroll partway up. It is totally erratic and is driving me crazy.
I do have a wireless keyboard/mouse, but I do not use the mouse, as it does not work: I have replaced it with a 'wired' mouse.
I have tried adjusting the mouse settings (number of lines to scroll, and turned off 'acceleration, as I think it was called).
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I just switched the number of scroll lines from the default (3) to 5 lines and this seems to have stabilized the erratic behavior.

Assuming that the amount of back-scroll is only a single click of the scroll-wheel and not half-way up or down the page, then what you describe is typical of wheel-mice, especially older ones.
If you open a wheel-mouse and look at how the scroll-wheel mechanism works, you’ll see that it has a series of bumps inside the wheel and a spring that presses against the bumps to cause the click-y feeling. Moreover, you’ll notice a series of thin slits on the face of the wheel through which a small beam of infrared light passes, and the mouse detects the interruptions as the wheel rotating.

The problem is that the bumps inside the wheel (“resting positions”) are not always perfectly aligned with the slits. This can be exacerbated with age due to wear. Lord of the rings trilogy kickass. As such, when the wheel is rotated, the mouse things it has stopped scrolling, but when you release the wheel, it settles in the bump, causing a slight rotation forward or backward.
There’s not a whole lot that can be done about it, but one option is to open the mouse and remove the spring altogether (the one with an end inside the wheel, not the one holding the wheel up). Personally, I find it better because then the mouse has no clicking at all and feels smoother. In fact, it is quite desirable because excessive clicking with some mice can create a big headache due to all the vibrations. The problem of course is that if the wheel is too loose, then it may spin too freely and cause its own erratic scrolling issue.

No, really - it happened to me many, many times, and the cause is always dust inside the mouse: it gets trapped in the scroll wheel and interferes with the sensors.

Touchpads on laptops were originally designed to replace external mice. As of August 2011, touchpad mice often mimic scroll wheels and allow users to scroll across the page when they drag their fingers along the far right side of the device. If you're having scrolling problems when using your laptop mouse, the device settings could be at fault. To adjust the settings on your touchpad, access the 'Mouse Properties' dialog from the Windows Control Panel.
Step 1
Click 'Start' and select 'Control Panel.' Type 'mouse' into the search box in the upper right corner of the screen (without quotation marks), then select 'Mouse' from the results.
Step 2
Click the 'Device Settings' tab. Select your touchpad, then click the 'Settings' button. Click 'Scrolling.'
Step 3

Select 'Scroll Selected Item' to use scrolling in an active window or object. Click 'Scroll Item Under Pointer' to use scrolling in the window or object underneath the mouse pointer. The window does not need to be active when this option is selected.
Step 4
Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the scrolling speed.
Step 5
Click 'One-Finger Scrolling.' Check 'Enable Vertical Scrolling' and 'Enable Horizontal Scrolling' to scroll in either direction with one finger.
Step 6
Check 'ChiralMotion Scrolling' to scroll up, down, right or left on a page while moving your finger in a circular motion.
Step 7
Check 'Enable EdgeMotion When Scrolling' to continue scrolling when your finger reaches the bottom of the laptop mouse; check 'Enable Coasting' to continue to scroll through a page even when you life your finger from the touchpad surface.
Click 'Apply,' then 'OK,' to fix the mouse scrolling problems on the laptop. Click 'OK' to close the 'Mouse Properties' window.
Tips
- Device options may vary somewhat depending on the touchpad driver installed on your computer.
- ~
- Older laptops may not offer the option to adjust scrolling on the touchpad.
