Why isn't the scroll on my mouse working?

Question

I always scroll pages by rolling that lil thing on the mouse between the left and right click but earlier I accidentally hit something on the keyboard and the page I was looking at refreshed and now when I try to scroll that way the screen doesn't move, it's really annoying, anyone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

Try this. Click Start, control panel, settings, then go into your mouse settings. Check under the "wheel" tab and see your scroll settings and make sure they are active. If it's only doing it in internet explorer though, it may just be a browser issue. Try to see if the scroller works in other programs like Word, Excel, etc. If everything in the settings looks fine, you might have a broken wheel. If you have a spare you can get from work or friend, try that and see if it works, if it does, then you know yours broke. You can get a decent one for around 15 bucks at WalMart.
