The Windows "Grid" Problem
Charles Sherwood Software: Internet Explorer 6.0 To solve the problem required excluding the mouse wheel functions in Internet Explorer. To do this, go to Control Panel and click on Mouse. In the "Wheel Troubleshooter" area, select the "Wheel" tab (see screen shot1), and select "Advanced". Click on the "Add" button and use the browse function to find the program to disable, in this case, Internet Explorer (see screen shot2).

For
the last few weeks, I have had my computer completely lock up while browsing
in Internet Explorer. The only warning would be the display would suddenly
have "grid lines" completely covering the screen. The few times I could get
some "mouse movement" on screen, the screen would be corrupted every place
the mouse cursor passed over. If I could exit the browser, the Desktop would
also be covered with these vertical grid lines. At that point, the computer
would lock up completely and force a power off to recover.
