That's much easier to understand. :-)

There are couple of solutions. Some programs have a throttle that the
farther out of the window the mouse is the faster it scrolls. If you keep
close to the edge of the area you are selecting it should go slower. Not
everyone does this, I dont think its part of the OS, but rather something
each program does.

The second thing you can do is shift-select. Click at the beginning of
what you want then use the scroll bars and scroll to where you want the
other end. Press shift and click. That should select everything in between.

Good luck.
