I am not sure what causes it to change, I think it is a misplaced mouse wheel movement or something.

So in short check your programmer is still set to the right device. -- Tim Mitchell tim@sabretechnology.co.uk http://www.sabretechnology.co.uk Sabre Technology (Hull) Ltd, 3a Newlands Science Park, Hull HU6 7TQ Registered in England and Wales no.3131504 t:01482 801003 f:01482 801078
