After installing WoW, I now have an odd thing happening on my PC. While looking at websites, using the roller-wheel on my mouse causes my PC to reboot.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening and how to fix it?

wtf! Most random effect ever O_o. There is probably about a million things that could cause it, but do you use internet explorer? If so, check for spyware. That stuff isn't exactly presiscely engineered software, and usually screws stuff up.

lol, that would be like pushing the flush handle on the toilet and the TV turning on.

? Uh, that is incredibly weird. Uninstall mouse drivers than reinstall it I would reccomend. Sometimes you might also need to disable some kind of software suite that comes with it. I have a logitech mouse and its gives me some options for my mouse wheel in that it can control my web viewing as more than just up and down scroll.

Thanks all !!! I will see what I can do with your suggestions.

Hey, I need help, too. I noticed today that sometimes when I click on website links - I mean different websites, like VN, Soap City, even here, a thing pops-up asking about installing Word Perfect 2002. It won't even install it because it prompts for a disk. It's really odd. Any thoughts?

roxie, stuff like that used to happen on my brother's computer with like a bazillion pieces of adware and spyware on it. Do you use internet explorer?

when you boot your computer press f8, wait until the menu appears. there is an option to turn off/on the reboot the system failure feature.. turn it off.. i'm guessing something is messed up in configs.. but, try that..
