I have an NEC Versa L1100. I'm running Windows XP SP3.

When I disconnect my USB mouse, and use the laptop's touchpad, I find when I move the mouse cursor around the browser window, the page will scroll as if I am moving the scroll wheel on a mouse. It happens intermittently. I don't have any buttons pressed down as it happens.

What can cause this?

How can it be fixed?

Thanks,

Steve.

It's probably the scrollbar at the right of the touchpad guy...just saying. I hate to point at the obvious, but....

IS there a scrollbar at the right of the touchpad? – Steve Dec 31 '10 at 15:17
I'm pretty sure I am using the centre of the touchpad, not the right hand side. – Steve Dec 31 '10 at 15:18
Actually, I think you might be right. – Steve Dec 31 '10 at 15:19
Is there a way to turn the scrollbar off? – Steve Dec 31 '10 at 15:42
that depends on the driver...check mouse options or any application that relates to the mouse(synaptic is a common driver software) – aking1012 Dec 31 '10 at 15:48
