Or just a stuck key?
I just had a very stange experience whilst in MSE. The page started scrolling down without my help, and wouldn't let me scroll back up. Then I tried to Turn Off from my Start Menu but the cursor kept pointing to Standby, so having no other choice, I did that instead. I've now logged back in and all seems normal. Any ideas on what just happened gratefully received.

You probably activated autoscroll by accidently clicking your middle mouse button.

Yeah I had a constant beeping going on once, and it was me leaning on something.
