few questions about the extensa

Hi I have the extensa 4420 loaded with xp pro only
So on the mouse scroll buttons, when I scroll up or down a really long page, and im holding the scroll button its scrolls a few lines at a time then it suddenly does like a page down command rather then keep scrolling at a constant pace. How do I stop that? I looked in the synaptics settings and I don't see anything regarding the scroll buttons suddenly jumping down

Next is that after the computer hibernates after I turn it back on and after a few mins the screen goes blank and I cant do anything. I tried the backlight button and I tried to turn it off by pressing the power button but nothing happends. I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn it off. I have the latest catalyst control center.

Another thing is that when I type in office 2007 the mouse dissappears. I have under pointer options "hide pointer while typing" unchecked, yet it still does so. How do I force that off?

 

Anybody know?

 

For the first problem ... just press the scroll button on the mouse to stop the scrolling.

Second ... which service pack do you have on your XP?
Check the gpu drivers and see if there are newer ones (they might solve your issue).

Third ... just live with it?
I think that MS Office does it whatever you do.
Not entirely sure, but try seeing if Office has an option that doesn't hide the mouse pointer while typing.

 

Thanks for the help!
Maybe I should reword that. I am holding the scroll button down when I scroll, it scrolls like 3 lines at a time but when I hold that button down for like 3 seconds it starts scrolling like 10 lines at a time.

I have xp SP2 I will get the latest updates but I always try not to update if it ain't broken. But I guess its probably a windows issue then and not a graphics issue? I have ati card with catalyst 8.9 drivers. (the latest)

I didn't know office could do that, I will search that option.
