function.

You could try downloading and installing a new version of the mouse
driver, if one is available from the manufacturer's web site. Or, try a
new mouse and driver on the machine.

David McRitchie also has some suggestions on his web site:

we had a similar problem in one of our computers(windows98-excel 2000).we
deleted the files in c:\windows\temp folder and rebooted the computer . it
seemed to have become ok. but after some days the same problem arose and we
had to do the same again. I suspect the mouse wheel is the culprit

the information is only episodic and given for what it is worth;.
