Vista Tutorial - Scroll Wheel Desktop Icon Size Problem

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I'm running Vista
Ultimate 32-bit.

You know how you can resize the desktop icons by holding down control and
using the scroll wheel? I'm experiencing an issue where:

1. I leave the computer idle for at least 20 minutes or longer, until the
monitor turns off. During this time I may or may not have browser or other
windows open -- doesn't seem to matter. I have the power setting on High
performance, so only the monitor turns off. The computer is set to never go
into standby or hibernate.

2. I come back to the computer and move the mouse so the monitor comes back
on.

3. At this point, if I use the scroll wheel the desktop icons begin to
resize. I'm not holding down ctrl or anything, although Windows is acting as
if I'm control-scrollwheeling. If I click on something else, the wheel
functions normally again, and I can ctrl-wheel the icons back to the desired
size.

I suppose this is more of an annoyance than anything else, but I was
wondering if anyone had seen or heard of this before.

BTW, the mouse is a Logitech MX518, with the latest Vista drivers. I'm not
sure if it's something specific to the mouse or not -- I didn't see anything
mentioned at the logitech site.

Thanks,
SM

I have been experiencing something similar. Everytime I select the scroll down icon on a window or dropdown box, it causes the window to shrink or maximize depending on its current state.

Re: Unable to Scroll Down in Windows

Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click
on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator".
Type in: SFC /SCANNOW and press your Enter key.

This should replace/repair any corrupt files in the system.


I just ran it. Although it said it found there were some things it could not repair... it does seem to have helped. No guarantees though.
