Default strange happenings

Sometimes when using windows my side scroll bar seems to do strange things,
it keeps scrolling to the bottom of the page.
Also when I right click on my mouse a bell starts ringing, this also only
happens sometimes.

Anyone any ideas,
regards oxy

Does the mouse have a clickable wheel? This "locks" the scroll action until
you click again. If the software for the mouse is installed, it may allow
you to disable this or assign a different function to the click of the
wheel.

Also when I right click on my mouse a bell starts ringing, this also only
happens sometimes.


Hmm...If you are clicking on something that does not have a right click
menu, it's possible that the default ding.wav may sound to alert you to
that fact.

Another thought: I have a "Sound" tab in my Mouse control panel. I have
these sounds disabled as I don't want a noisy mouse. Perhaps you have
something similar in your control panel. If you do, either disable all
sounds in this section, or disable/change the ones for right click actions.
