I have a very strange problem.. On my Windows XP machine, after a short amount of time of logging in, the scroll bars on any application (Word, Excel, IE, MSN - anything) start jumping around of their own accord. It doesn't make a difference if I'm online or not. My anti-virus definitions are bang up to date and I have scanned for viruses every week - found nothing. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this as it's driving me up the wall??

Also try setting up your Virus Scanner to exclude *.lnk files, so that it does not scan, lock and re-order your shortcuts whilst being displayed.

Regards,

Andy
