Default scroll arrows and bar

It seems that my scroll arrows & bar are are running in
slo motion. Used to be that when I would drag or click the
arrows and hold it down, it would shoot me to the top or
bottom of the page. It is now moving my page in slo
motion. It almost looks like a wave rolling. Moving in
sections. Very time consuming to reach the bottom of a
page now.
Can someone please help me fix.

Had a similar problem, overcame by removing video adapter/drivers and using
win default vga then reinstalling video adapter and drivers.
- I was using Win2K -

Firstly check Help for add/remove hardware.
You should take care in doing this and if not confident perhaps seek
assistance.
Did you install any games, prior to this occuring, some can upset yr video
settings.
When you have Device Manager open, if you see any '!' or '?' marks next to a
device, it means that that device has a problem.
Basically you need to be logged on with an account that has Administer
rights.
In Control Panel,System, Hardware, Device Manager, locate Display Adapters.
You should see an entry for your video/display adapter (A)
Make a note of the name. Highlight, right click and uninstall, or select
uninstall icon
Aknowlege warning msg, reboot pc when asked.
On restart when you get msg re win has found new hardware/devices Cancel
that process.
Win should then start in default vga mode.
End any apps that you have running in the task bar.
Then instigate the Add/remove hardware process, win will then search and
locate yr display adapter - if it doesnt yo'll have to do a manual find,
looking for the 'name' you noted on removal. - win will install the device,
reboot when asked.
(A) Once you know the Display device, and prior to removing it, you might
want go to the manufacturers site to check as to if there are any updated
drivers - it may be a known problem
I'm not the best at giving step by step instructions, but hope above assists
