ahlain, try clicking anywhere on the taskbar, and while clicking.. keep dragging it to the bottom, then when u reach the bottom, let go of the mouse, stop dragging, that should return it the way it should have been.

I don't really know but you might have "Scroll Lock" on and then you can't scroll down with your mouse or keyboard

I had exactly the same problem at work with Apple's Mighty Mouse. The mouse worked fine until one day it stopped scrolling vertically.  It turns out that many other people are experiencing the same problem.  The general solution, as discussed in the MacRumors forum, is to press firmly down on the mouse button or use compressed air cleaning products to get rid of the dirt trapped between the gaps.  If that doesn't work, do what I did and get the mouse exchanged, providing its under warranty. \n\nMacRumors Forum: Mighty Mouse - Scrolling Problem:\nhttp://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=145779

Sound like there is a loose wire in the mouse or your connection is loose buy another mouse they are cheap enough.This is the cord which you move the most and has tiny wires so this is most likely the cause.

IBM invented these eraser head style mice many years ago.  You might reinstall the driver and that might fix the problem.  You might try to change the bios mouse settings.  When the computer boots up press ESC to access the bios. \n\nDoes it do this if you are using an auxiliary mouse (PS/2 or USB)--in other words does it happen if you keep your hand and fingers away from the tracking devices-and is the area free of static electricity?

Hold the control key down while using the roller on your mouse to move up or down.  That's what I did, worked for me after I asked a similar question here.  Good luck.

I'd like to find out what kind of mouse you have, and secondly if you have the software that came with the mouse.  I would reinstall the software for the mouse.  Or if it didn't come with software I would uninstall the driver from the control panel > mouse and reinstall then try to figure out if the settings on some sort of Web protection program is interfering with your mouse. (i.e. Norton Internet Security) etc.

I can think of a couple reasons off hand. First, are you using an optical mouse/trackball?  If so, there could be some dust causing problems. Clean it just to be sure.\n\nDoes it do it at the same duration each time? I have a program, webshots, which centers my mouse everytime it changes my background picture, every 15 minutes.\nThere could be a program running in the background that updates, I've had a weather updater do the same thing before.\nAlso one of the older Wacom Table drivers caused this to happen.\n\nDo you have multiple monitors running with extended desktop? That could cause it to jump to where the 2 desktops would meet if it's not configured properly.\n\nHope this helped. I'd say it's probably a program that is running. You may want to try closing out all processes not required, see if it still happens then.\n\nFission

This happens mainly due to your PC configuration i.e hardware, in particular the mouse not matching with the intended performance parameters. Go to control panel and fix your Mouse settings- check the speed - is it too much, or too less. Go for a Windows Xp or Linux with at least double RAM (256 Hz) when you go over Internet and also, work out with your ISP why the speed is slow. Quite often, a combination of slow speed, bad hardware and Anti-Spyware software give a dreadful surfing experience.

Your drivers are probably missing, but if they arent, then right click the desktop, go to the appearences tab, click effects, and uncheck show window contents while dragging

coz a wireless mouse is very sensitive to motion. it easily reacts to a certain vibration or motion. casing your screen to deactivate.

Call Ghost Busters!  Seriously though, that happened to me when I was using a hard mouse pad.  Try using a softer one.  It could be that when you are typing that simple action is causing the mouse to move the slightest bit if the pad is a hard one or you are not using a mouse pad at all.

Usually there is an adjustment for the driver that operates it. Check your Windows Control Panel to see if there is anything there referencing a mouse or pointing device.

Don't understand.\n If you want to move it to top or either side?\n Put curser over task bar. Left click and hold. Drag it to the side or top. Release left button.
