internet screen in bouncing...

nikeman · 03-21-2007, 07:55 AM

Everytime I get on the internet (explorer or firefox) my screen bounces up and down! It started yesterday and I do not know what is going on but it is giving me a headache. What could be the problem here?

I've had this happen on my laptop where the touchpad is stuck in lock and drag mode. I have also seen this happen with my desktop when the autoscroll button is enabled yet it doesn't seem to disable itself.

I'm not sure how you define bouncing though. My symptoms are more of a jiggling effect. But it does drive me crazy when it happens.

now it stopped on its own but i am scared to close the browser and open it again cause it might start again..

EDIT: And it started after i submitted my reply.. And its just within the windows also. Not the back button or anything up there of the start menu...

I just found something about this on the firefox site and i removed my bookmark toolbar and it stopped. Guess i fixed it myself. lol

thats weird. I didnt see your reply until just now

It turned out to be a bug in the new firefox with the bookmark toolbar. It has to either have something in it or be hidden to fix it.. Thanks though
