I came across an issue with one of our web sites:
In IE9 the page had a vertical scrollbar, but you couldn't use the mousewheel, arrow keys, pgup/pgdwn to scroll. The only way to scroll was to actually click/hold and move the scrollbar.
I removed the following from the css:
{
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Then scrolling worked as usual. Has anyone else come across this? It seems odd as overflow-x should hide the horizontal scroll bar? Why would it effect the vertical?
I have tried this on a test page and it acts as expected. So it must be a combination of things.

Try using the following code snippet. This should solve your issue.
body, html {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
}
overflow-x: hidden;
would hide any thing on the x-axis that goes outside of the element, so there would be no need for the horizontal scrollbar and it get removed.
overflow-y: hidden;
would hide any thing on the y-axis that goes outside of the element, so there would be no need for the vertical scrollbar and it get removed.
overflow: hidden;
would remove both scrollbars
I use iFrame to insert the content from another page and CSS mentioned above is NOT working as expected. I have to use the parameter scrolling="no" even if I use HTML 5 Doctype
