Sometimes it will scroll down (but never to the actual bottom of the page), sometime it will actually scroll up, instead of down & sometime the screen will just judder but not actually move up or down.
So I am left navigating pages using the up & down arrows on the right hand slider bar.
The mouse is a Microsoft Wireless Mobile 1000
Is there a software solution to this, or will buying a replacement mouse be the only solution.
