hi
running windows xp and outlook express. logged on today to find scroll bar
will not behave. works on its own, goes right to bottom and wont respond to
any direction from mouse. pc is giving error beeps when not even touched!
compacted, removed, defragged, then did it all again in safe mode- still
have problem.
any instructions would help. internet explorer is behaving similarly, cant
navigate to a site (any site!) for help. when internet properties box is
opened, (to check settings, etc..) pc freezes. don't ask how this is working
enough to post this!
thanks in advance- pete

Motive SmartBridge (MOTIVESB.EXE) was probably installed by your ISP to aid
in reporting connection issues. I would consider uninstalling this
application unless you use it. Alternatively open MSConfig (Start, Run and
enter MSConfig in the box and click OK), open the Startup tab and uncheck
"Motive SmartBridge".

jim,
it took awhile to check- even with the arrow keys its near impossible to
scroll thru either the programs list in add/remove or the list of start ups
in msconfig. but i don't see motive smart bridge on either list.
thanks. i will restart and continue to try and get a better view of the
applications.

if i select the sort by window in add remove programs, it auto scrolls to
the bottom of the list. that calms the larger dialogue box down so i can use
the scroll bar and search. there is definitely no motive smart bridge on pc

All I can suggest is to try another rodent and see if the problem is
hardware related. Good luck.
