Excel - cant stop scrolling

[Legacy 191154]

my Lenovo T1 laptop. Periodically in Excel, the scrolling wont stop, either left-right, or top-bottom. Sometimes (not always) it happens in other programs.

I did spend about 30 min searching on internet but could not find a solution. Found plenty of "my scrolling doesnt work"........

Welcome to MrExcel board...

I have had that ocassionally and it generally happens with large documents and doing alot of copy/paste without saving. Suspect the memory becomes fragmented. By rebooting it would clear the problem.

that's a possibility but sometimes it happens right after I open a file. I rarely do a lot of cut/paste...but you never know. I had a problem with an excel file OPENING...Lots of tabs....but I had a lightbulb moment and copied the data from one of the tabs to a new tab and deleted the old tab. Bingo. Opened in a flash.

When I move to AZ in a few months I'll be getting a desktop. This LT has lasted almost 3 years. I'll just continue to reboot.

thanks for your input.
