Re: IE6 smooth scolling becomes unchecked after reboot

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks Jon. I tried the link and applied the change to the registry directly as instructed, but
the DWORD value returned to zero again after a reboot. Outlook Express is set at "1"
and remains that way.

I even tried the other link from that page, "Control Whether Windows Performs Smooth
Scrolling (All Windows)",

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/121/

and had to create a new DWORD since it wasn't there, but that didn't help IE6 either.
