My mouse wheel makes entire pages scroll

Cause: Most mice have a scroll wheel that is located between the two keys. This makes scrolling through documents and Web pages easier. However, if the setting it too high, you may have difficulty scrolling.

Double-clicking does not work well

Cause: The double-click response rate is determined by a setting in the Mouse Properties window. If the double-click feature is too fast or too slow, you can adjust it to meet your needs.

The keyboard works too slowly

Cause: Keyboard settings determine how fast keystrokes appear on your screen when you touch the keyboard. If the keyboard is working too slowly, you can adjust the keyboard stroke speed.

Note: All Control Panel instructions in this chapter assume you are using the Classic view. If you are not, just Click Start--> Control Panel--> and then click the option in the left portion of the window to use Classic view.

To adjust the keyboard speed, follow these steps:

1. Click Start--> Control Panel--> Keyboard.

2. On the Speed tab--> adjust the Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate settings so that they are longer or shorter and slower or faster, respectively. You can use the repeat box, to test the repeat rate setting:

3. Click OK when you are done.

Tip: Keep in mind that you can return to this window and adjust the settings again if you still do not like the performance.
