In IE7:

Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced

Under Settings, scroll to Browsing and check "Use smooth scrolling" (very last checkbox option in that section).
Current: T430
Past: T42 | T60 | T61 | X61T | T410

Interesting. The answer given is correct with respect to smooth scrolling; however, I do not like smooth scrolling. I turn that setting off, and IE has not stuttered. There may be another explanation; although I would have offered the same as hart22. ... JDH

oh that option is already checked, but the problem of non smooth scrolling presists. i tried turning off smoth scrolling and it made scrolling actually smoother :?
i will now keep that option disabled but i would love to have opera like smooth scrolling, i really like the new IE8 more so than IE7...
