[Petbunny] OT : computer/mouse problems

Hmm,

I've seen that myself for the past number of weeks.  Must be a new 
"update" from windows?  

I know that, now, if I'm scrolling down a document by spinning the 
center wheel (dial) on my mouse, if I spin that wheel too rapidly, the 
icon my mouse arrow icon changes into that circled double arrow icon you 
talk about, and the page starts to scroll itself, without my having to 
continue the mouse action.  A quick left click of the mouse should stop 
the scroll and restore things to normal mouse behavior.

Like the old witticism says, Peter, it's not a "bug"; it's a "feature" 
of the software. :-)

I have no idea about the second problem: your clicking computer and 
disappearing pages.  Sounds suspiciously like a virus to me.
