Data wheel jump is usually an independent problem......they get dirty and need to be cleaned since they are not sealed.  Just use a good contact cleaner, I used Radio Shack 64-4315 Tuner Control Cleaner/Lubricant, sprayed into/down the top shaft after the knob was pulled off.  Also told a product called De-Ox works well.  I just cleaned 12 encoders yesterday on a Yamaha SU700 I just got....they were tight and erratic....now they feel & work like new....no skips....

  Could be mechanical problem, OS problem, or user error. Try ruling out 
  simple stuff before reinitializing.

  machine.
