Windows Scroll Down and unable to stop.
Certain windows like Windows Explorer is scrolling down to the bottom of the right pane until the end of the lines in that pane when I move the mouse over the pane. Cannot stop it scrolling. Other windows do not do this. I happened right after my fingers fumbled on the keyboard and mouse together. What did I do ? How do I undo without having to reboot ? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

Try sleeping the computer then wake the computer again ? The purpose of doing that, is having the drivers for the devices do a "warm start". To sleep the computer might take 20 seconds, to wake it again around 10-15 seconds. Any downloads you're doing would likely drop the connection in the process. Wait until your downloads are complete, before intervening. Pressing alt-F4 while clicking the desktop surface, signals to Windows that you want the shutdown menu. Pressing alt-F4 while say, Firefox has the focus, would cause Firefox to quit. The alt-F4 is an alternate way to make some input, if you need that. I've even used that to shut down Windows 10 when the Start menu was trashed. ******* Some other techniques would require a reboot, and that's not what you asked for. To forget all hardware state (as best as can be done without pulling the CMOS battery), you'd want to turn off all power to the computer (like, via the switch on the back of the desktop casing). Which also involves a reboot. I've not heard of any easy way to reset the HID subsystem - the danger of you attempting to do that, is losing all keyboard and mouse input. You can disable and enable individual devices in Device Manager, but that way leads to madness. At least a controlled shutdown and reboot, involves no additional risks. Paul |
