word 2007

[lewy]

i have just installed word 2007.now the mouse wheel wont scroll the document.I googled it and i am not alone.however the fixes all tell me to dabble in the registry something i am not keen on.anyone know a fix

[miky]

Strange...

I run all the 2007 suite on Vista and XP (sp2) with no problems.

It just installed and worked. I know others who use it with no probs.

You may need to be more specific as to the platform and version etc. you are using if you want help. The more info you give the better.

[lewy]

cheers I have xp sp3.scroll works in everything else including XL,outlook,one note.

[spudboy]

Have you got a special mouse? (Logitec/Evoluent/etc)

You might need to get an updated driver.

If you use a bog standard MS mouse, then I'd expect the latest driver to be there. You on automatic updates?

[lewy]

belkin wired laser.i will try to find another driver,thanks

[Narangga]

Give us a yell if you don't have any joy Lewy.

[lewy]

went and bought a new microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse ,downloaded all updates from microsoft,still no scroll,:mad:

[mjm295]

Do you have some old software from the old mouse? This could be changing the scroll function to another task. Try uninstalling any old mouse drives/software.

They are quite often running in the tray by the clock.

[dullbird]

i have word 2007 and vista....I also have logitechs flashy wireless keyboard and mouse and I have no problem scrolling

i can even scroll from my wacom tablet as well

Don't blame you ...

Download this registry repair software ... This one is safe to use ... others are not

Registry Repair - Free Registry Cleaner Software (http://www.glarysoft.com/rr.html)

Download it / run it / then use it

Button on the top ... click "Scan registry" ... Analysing Window will come up // when it finishes click ... "repair"

Your computer will suddenly spring to life after the "repair"

[lewy]

well I fixed the scroll problem,I uninstalled the old mouse drivers as mentioned and had a brilliant thought that i might as well uninstall some old programs that i don't use anymore at the same time.This brainstorm deleted some needed windows files as well,So after about 8 hrs work and a lot of swearing not to mention a re-formated hard drive the bloody mouse wheel works.I think i will stick to simply fixing landy's from now on,thanks to everyone who tried to help,

Mike.....this program is very good :thumbsup:

I use C Cleaner which Whirlpool seem to give a good rap about free registery cleaners.

As an experiment on the work laptop...superb testing facility, I might add, I registry cleaned it with C Cleaner. Appears normal.

I then registry cleaned with the Glary program and it came up with heaps more errors. So I cleaned that up as well.

At this stage everything is working fine......IT are on standby :eek:

:p

A WORD OF WARNING ABOUT REGISTRY CLEANERS

YOU WILL FIND OTHER CLEANER PROGRAMS THAT WILL FIND EVEN MORE ERRORS TO FIX .... DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK ... MOST WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER & CAN BE DESTRUCTIVE ... I SELECTED THIS ONE AFTER HAVING IT RECOMMENDED ... ALL THE OTHERS CRASHED MY COMPUTERS

Sorry for the caps .... but I can't stress it enough .... I went through a long process to chose the program "Glarysoft" .... Do not be fooled into using other cleaners and think that they are gonna be great ..... Some programs will find 2000 errors to fix, in comparison to "GlarySoft" finding just 350 errors to fix, when you use it for the first time

Generally I use it once a month and only find 4 to 14 errors for it to fix

It will serve you well .... I have used it for over 4 years now

Is this your disclaimer? :D

No, I fully understand the risks involved. And yes there are some 'magnificent' programs out there which just so happen to find a gazillion problems which can only be fixed by purchasing their product.

The CCleaner program looks tame compared to this one and as stated before Whirlpool usually suggest it as a mild cleaner anyway. If you want to go further you would need to pay for it.

This is a good find...thanks for the tip.

My pleasure :)



I tried the ... CCleaner program also ... but it was no good

Bet your computer is running real fast now :) .... You could earn cartons from others, if you stuck the program in their computers :angel: :D



That program folder that you downloaded ... Just copy & paste it into your thumb drive .... and then you can transfer it to any other computers that you have ...

Thanks Mike,

Interesting program.

I am generally not a big fan of these sorts of programs -primarily because if you do not have a good understanding of what is being changed in the registry - you are playing with fire.

I like the fact this gives you very clear vision of what it believes is wrong.

I see it will restore previous repairs - but that will need windows running to achieve successfully. Pity it doesn't allow a full registy backup before hand.

I can see it being a useful tool for many - I'd just caution that NO registry editing tool is 100% risk free - even if this one looks pretty good.

Cheers,
Mark

A little trick I learn't when the other Cleaner programs I tried, failed & crashed my computer, was to do the following....

Start the XP version computer in Safe mode /go to/ all programs / Accessories / restore ... Select a time prior to installing the program or the previous day and all will be normal again :)

Thanks Mike - I'm well aware how to recover a corrupted registry on a windows machine - I work in the industry - but for non technical users - if it wont boot into safe mode - and you have no understanding of how to use the recovery console or access the file system through other means ( As well as know what to do when you get there) - you are pooched. :mad:

My point is only that if you edit the registry - whether it is manually or through any of these programs - it CAN go very pear shaped. So prudent to have a full backup.

I think that program looks like a good one - but to me it is wise to understand what it is about to do before you press that "fix my computer" button.

Cheers, Mark

Another question.....

I have installed the Glary Utilities program which includes heaps of additional functions to clean up computers.

The program has 'spyware & adware' cleanup. Would this be a better program than 'Spybot' & 'Malwarebytes - Anti Malware'?

I run these to cleanup and remove any malware and I would like to eliminate duplicate function programs as much as possible.

Dunno .... I'm only using The free version of "Glarysoft Registry Repair .. version 2.4" ... It doesn't have those tools available


Maybe Bytemrk or others, could advise ... :)

G'day Lyndon,

I haven't used the Glary tool either. That said.. I wouldn't be in such a rush to remove duplicate programs when it comes to spyware.

I'd agree that if you have these tools running resident all the time ( running spybot tea timer etc.) - its probably a bad thing.. but if you only use them as a clean up - I'd happily keep both.

I am yet to find 1 anti spyware product that does it all 100%. The two that you mention are pretty good, but I have also seen Spybot miss things that are picked up by Malwarebytes and visa versa.

If you find that Glary Utilities does seem to get everything - please let us know - I'm sure we would all like to know..

Sorry Lewy.... it looks like we hijacked your thread..:mad:.. maybe this would be a good topic for a seperate thread..

How are you going with the Word 2007 issue?
