SYMPTOMS When you rapidly rotate the scroll wheel on your mouse, the
active window switches continuously through the open windows on your
desktop.CAUSEThis issue may occur when you unintentionally click the
wheel when you scroll. When Microsoft IntelliPoint 5.0 or a later version is installed, the
default action for a click of the scroll wheel is to bring the next open window
to the front.RESOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, configure a different action for a
click of the scroll wheel:
- Click Start, click Control
Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware under
Pick a category, and then click
Mouse.
- Click the Buttons tab, click the action
that you want to configure in the Wheel button box, and then
click OK.
Note In IntelliPoint versions before version 5.0, the default action
for a wheel click was "AutoScroll."
