Hi all!

Scrolling seems very jumpy under Windows 7. You can especially notice it when scrolling through large icons in Windows Explorer. Is there a way to make it smoother?

Thanks!

I have a MacBook Pro and I followed Boot Camp instructions. I can definitely access nVidia Control Panel, so, I assume I have the proper drivers installed.

Try via mouse properties in the control panel, or personalize>change mouse pointers, under wheel you have some options to change how wheel reacts.

I can only change step size there, not the smoothness. :(

Though my mouse indeed has the click-to-click ratchet mode, it can't be a hardware issue. I get this jumpy scrolling even from my MacBooks glass trackpad.

If browsing, it's sometimes an available option under Tools as in Firefox.
 

My Computer

OS
Windows XP - Now Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).
I have no issue with any browser, but with large (more specifically I've set the thumbnail size somewhere between large and extra large) image thumbnails in Windows Explorer, the half-a-screen-instant-jump with every notch I scroll is still annoying as hell.
