When browsing all Internet sites cliking on the space in my scroll bar results in it jumping up or down several pages instead of one page at a time as it had previously done. In the Tools, Internet Options, Browsing, the "use smooth scrolling" box is checked. How do I revise this to just go up or down one page at a time?

Yup, that has been happening lately due to a new Microsoft patch, MS03-048. I have the same problem!

But you have to subscribe to the website, give them a donation, then you can read the article with the fix. I have just been too cheap to do so!

Right-wing theory has it that it is not a bug, just a new feature that MS forgot to tell the millions of users out here about. If you put your cursor very close above or below the slider bar and click, you find it will only go up/down one page. The further away from the slider bar you are, the more pages it will jump.

Guess they thought we were all getting a little to ingrained in our browsing habits. Pavlov is turning over in his grave...
