Arrow My computer is acting screwy.....
I don't know what I did, or how I fixed it, but something odd is going on here!

Suddenly, when I tried to use the scroll button on my mouse it only made the font bigger or smaller depending on which way I moved the button.

So then, I was ready to type this thread and I found I couldn't type!!

I just started pushing random keys on the keyboard (always a good method ) and then it was fixed! What's going on here?!? Anyone know what's causing it to act like this?

The answer is - your computer doesn't like you.

Keep an eye on him at night. Sleep with a baseball bat. It might strangle you when you sleep.

Ctrl+Scroll Wheel increases text. Ctrl might have got stuck.

Umah, come on. Disabling input devices is not evil enough for me to bother with.

Don't listen to him! It's not true!

The Control+Wheel thing is just a cover-up! Actually little leprechauns do it inside the computer! Run by the government!

It's alive I tells ya!

-men in BioHaz suits come in and tie Matt up-
