Why does my computer erratically scroll up and down?

I am running Windows XP with SP 3 on a 2002 Gateway machine.

For the last few days I have experienced the problem of erratic scrolling that seems to have a mind of its own. If I am on a window with a scroll bar, the window scrolls up and down the page erratically, often when I have not initiated it. I am not sure but think this started following a routine Windows Update. It is doing it now as I type this. It is totally distracting to being able to do anything while it is occurring. It does it a while then there are occasional pauses in the scrolling then it starts up again.

Any suggestions on fixing this?

You might want to check, if this behaviour occurs on other accounts. Also: this belongs to superuser. – flokra Sep 21 '09 at 20:35

My mouse wheel here tends to stick between two ticks sometimes. Then this can happen. – Joey Sep 21 '09 at 21:14
