Arrows crazy-lazy?

I don't know exactly what to call these little arrows so
I'll try and explain as best I can what problem I'm
having with this little boogers!
The arrows (up-down arrows?) that let your words and
paragraghs go up and down. The arrows that are right
accross from where I am writing__________________* that
help the page moveup and down.
Well on most pages these don't work. I can only go either
all the way up or all the way down. There's no stopping
mid-way. It doesn't happen to all pages or web-sites so
could this be the web-site problem or does it have
something to do with my computer?
Any help to what it could be?
Just so were clear-I know how they work so that's not the
problem. (for a change)
Thanks for any help. It's really driving my crazy having
to inch my way down a page and then inching my way up. It
used to be so easy!

This is "New User" postings! Why don't you take your
know it all, rude brain and mouth somewhere were you will
most likely still not be wanted.
You must be what they call a TROLL !
I came here for help and if you don't want to give any
then shut-down!
Thanks for the kind input.
If you don't see any arrows on your computer that move a
page up or down then you need more help then I do! Get
some glasses or better, close your mouth and open your
eyes, and only give advice when you can help someone.

I see that you have class also.

Next time try asking your question in an intelligent manner. Those arrows
that go up and down for your information are called a scroll bar.

There's only one "s" in "asinine," you top-posting moron.
There are two in "ass," but you probably knew that.

A recent update has caused odd behavior with the scroll bar on some
systems. Try using the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate the page or
grab the scroll bar in between the arrows and move it as needed.

An excerpt from http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2003/2003-12-04.htm#3

Has Your Scrollbar Behavior Changed?
Mine has. Many readers are reporting the same thing, too:

I'm having an annoying problem. While I'm using IE6, I always scroll the
screen by clicking the vertical scroll bar (one click, one screen). Since I
installed Microsoft's latest security patch, Cumulative Security Update for
Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (KB824145), the page advances TWO screens per click.
After I noticed this weird behavior, I uninstalled the patch and the problem
went away. Then I checked out my wife's computer after she installed the
update, and it has the same problem. Our machines are set up almost
identically, but I find it hard to believe we are the only folks seeing this
behavior. Microsoft's knowledge base has been no help so far, and I have
seen no mention of this problem anywhere. Any ideas? ---Dan Cross

Bizarrely, it's not a bug. It appears to be a poorly-implemented new
"feature."

The vertical scroll bar--- sometimes called the "elevator" bar--- is now
distance sensitive. If you click near the slider, you'll scroll up or down
one screen, as before. If you click far away from the slider, you'll advance
two screens.

It makes a kind of sense, unless--- like millions of users, including me---
you're used to parking the mouse at the top or bottom of the scroll area and
clicking on that one spot to read through a document one page at a time.
Now, that no longer works, and you have to reposition the mouse after each
click.

The new behavior also is not universal; the change does not affect all
vertical scroll bars in all applications. Now you have to remember which
ones work which way. Sigh.

I think we'll soon see patches and fixes that let us modify or disable this
annoying "feature" that clearly did not get user-tested very well at all
prior to release.
