I'm running XP home on an HP412.
If I get a pop-up, for instance asking if I want to allow Active X (which I have set to 'prompt')
the wheelmouse function freezes, & I have to use the scroll arrows to restart it. Once I've moved with the scroll arrows the wheelmouse works again.
Any suggestions?

Try a different mouse it may just be your mouse. If the problem persists then you may have a bad PS/2 port(try a USB mouse if you have one) or need to reinstall IE. You may also try a different browser like FireFox or Netscape Navagator. Also make sure that your scroll lock is off. Hope this gets you somewhere.
