Hello Lemon Jelly,
I do have power managment enabled....
as for the scrolling speed (I think you mean the up or down movment) you can
download
tweak ui for windows XP , download here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
When you run it go to the MOUSE>WHEEL and change the number of likes to
scroll by.
I have this setting set to 5.
