I'm trying to create a new scenario and the scrollbar on the small scenery selector has randomly stopped working. It will not move no matter what I do. Please help me!

The locked scrollbar means that you have too many small scenery objects in your Objdat folder. There's a limit to how many objects you can have in there before it stops working.
What you'll need to do is manually sort through the Objdat folder and remove some objects. There's no set amount of how many you'll need to remove, it depends on how many you actually have in there.
Try using datchecker15 to explore your Objdat folder and see what you really want to keep and what is expendable. Just remember that you can ONLY REMOVE CUSTOM OBJECTS. If you remove any of the RCT2 default objects, your game will not work. datchecker15 will show you the origin of each object you have.
You might want to try just removing just a few at a time (make a new folder for these so you can come back and retrieve them at a later date if you wish) and check the small objects tab in the SE occasionally to see when it unlocks. You may have to only remove a few objects, or you may have to remove hundreds....again, it depends on how many you actually have in there.
