I recently bought an IBM Netvista at a dealer and when I am working the vertical scrollbar keeps
going up and down without touching it.
I have a wheel mouse with USB cable.
I paid much money but nobody could fix the problem
so I tried to borrowanother mouse and it was all
fine, no problem.
It was a logitech mouse which worked perfectly
What is the problem??

I'd check the mouse driver first. If there was a disk that came with your mouse, make sure you're using the driver from it. Other than that, replace the mouse is the best I could tell you. I've never had any problems with mice under Windows, but I always make sure that I have the right drivers installed. I had the same thing come up once with the wrong drivers, though.

On a wheel mouse, typically the wheel itself is a button, that when pressed, will lock the mouse into a scroll mode... So when you move the mouse up or down, the page scrolls instead of the mouse pointer moving on your screen. When you are locked into this scroll mode, the mouse pointer changes to an up/down arrow, and will remain this way until another button is clicked.

If these are the symptoms you are experiencing, your mouse is working fine. Double check the user guide to learn allof its features.

Seems to me there was a "bug" in the mouse. Somehow from your resolution it seems to me that it was something about the mouse that was sending constant messages to the PC. Cheap mice can do that. The x & y axes are what controls the movement, inside by the ball. If there is a short of any kind in the mouse, the PC will interperete that as a command to move your pointer or the scroll, if you have it programmed to scroll. I do not think it was the software alone if at all. Based on my experience, similar issues have been resolved by a simple mouse swap. Logitech is a good choice for mouse. I own an optical by Logitech and am very pleased with it. Although I would not recommend it for gaming.
