Mouse wheel scrolls sideways

[burnsbyrne]

I am using a Microsoft optical wheelmouse with an HP computer which is only 6 months old. I'm running Windows XP service pack 2. Excel and Word are the latest versions as of April, 05. Sometimes in Excel and also in Word the cursor scrolls sideways instead of vertically. I have checked the mouse settings several times and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Does anybody know what is going on?

I've had that happen a few times. Closing and re-opening Excel
seems to cure the problem.
