Thanks Sharon; everything you suggested was already done. Drivers are all
new, installed again by Dell after I sent back my computer, and all the
settings are on "smooth scrolling". Nothing helps. Thanks for your reply.

The problem most often is a setting that needs tweaking or a driver
issue. When you scroll through a document, the "smoothness" is created
by the screen redrawing quickly.

Some more thoughts for you:
-Back in system properties, Advanced, display: the default is "let
Windows decide." Try the "best performance" setting. This cuts back on
extra effects - maybe enough that the screen will redraw nicer for you.

-Try a different mouse or scrolling with the keyboard or other device.
If smooth with another device, you might consider replacing your current
mouse.

-Search these groups for "wavy scrolling" one way to do this would be to
use Google Groups search. It's a common complaint after a reinstall but
what fixes it isn't the same thing for everyone and sometimes isn't a
setting that is obviously related to the problem. IOW, your search will
net you a collection of other ideas to try.
