Two finger scrolling quit working on Windows 7 Boot Camp.

My two finger scrolling just quit working while running Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Any ideas?

Mr Tech,
I did insert my Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD once I was in Windows 7 and installed the boot camp thing, which installed all of the drivers

  • Two-Finger Scrolling Stopped Working

    After updating to 10.5.6, my two-finger scrolling stopped working; everything else seems to be fine. What can I do to get it working again?

    Same thing happened to me today. I've had the 10.5.6 update installed for a week and have restarted my system several times since then, and experienced no problems until now. Today was the first day I powered my system down completely (rather than just restarting) and now my trackpad is wonky.
    I can use the trackpad like normal with one finger, and two-finger vertical scrolling works as long as I'm inside an application. I can also use two fingers to right-click. I just can't use two fingers to scroll in any direction besides up or down, and I can only scroll if I'm in an application or window that requires scrolling.
    Inside my Trackpad preferences panel in System Prefs, there's a checkbox for "Secondary Tap" under "Two Fingers." The other options ("Scroll," "Rotate," etc.) appear but there is no checkbox next to them. There isn't a checkbox for "Swipe to Navigate" under "Three Fingers" either.
    I will call Apple support and see what I can find out.

  • Windows 8 two-finger-scrolling not working properly

    Two-Finger Scrolling in Windows 8 doesn't seem to work properly on my U300S Synaptics trackpad.
    Instead of just scrolling through the tiles or app on the Windows 8(.1) startscreen, individual apps are higlighted and scrolled through like when I use the arrow-keys on a regular keyboard.
    Also, in the metro version of Internet Explorer you should be able to move back and forth in the browser history by horizontally doing a two-finger-scroll gesture.
    Do I have to install anything besides the Synpatics driver to get this to work properly?

    I am having similar problems, although I don't have the zoom issue- it is simply not scrolling.   very frustrating when you are accustomed to this method.   My resolution was also reset, but I don't find that as much of an issue- the scrolling I can't fix.

  • Two Finger Scroll Not Working on my Inspiron 3543

    It's been just a month since I bought my new lappy. Usually when I start it up, the two finger scroll works just fine in the Start menu of Windows 8.1.
    But after about 10 minutes or so, when I press Start for something, and try scrolling with the two fingers... BAMM !!!!   It's futile. Nothing happens whatsoever.
    Please help. All responses appreciated.

    Hey,
            First of all... Thank you for replying. I don't remember any specific update but, the Windows action center keeps downloading some additional updates if that's what you are referring to. And I also tried to update my touchpad driver, but it says that it is already up to date.
           Regarding the Dell TouchPad properties, I already tried that and it is configured as per my convenience. Yet it goes through the same error.
          Thank you again for suggesting.

  • T430s Two finger scroll not working reliably

    Hi!
    Sometimes it works, sometimes it takes the skin of my fingers to get two finger scroll working.
    The system update does not see a reason to update the drivers.
    Is there more effective software for the synaptic touchpad to do two finger scroll?

    Hi, theking2
    System Update is a very useful tool, but I find it best to always check for driver updates manually, just in case the updater missed something. The latest version of the Syanptics driver can be found here and may help your issue.
    Hope it helps,
    Adam

  • Two finger scroll not working in Microsoft Word for Mac

    Just finished installing Yosemite today and haven't had any real issues...however, I've noticed that two-finger scrolling doesn't work in Microsoft Word for mac. It works fine in many other applications (including other Microsoft apps--Excel & PowerPoint), but not Word.
    I've looked for any scrolling options that may be "unchecked" in the preferences, but haven't found any.

    I'm having the same issue. However, I have restarted and it still won't work. This is extremely frustrating as I have the latest updates and everything but it doesn't work and I keep forgetting every time I try to scroll.
    I'm also having the issue of whenever my Mac goes to sleep or if I turn it off, the log in screen says there are updates necessary. I feel like this is a bug because I've updated my computer like 20 times in the past few days...

    thanks for your answer. I did not have anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
    In any case: for some reason it's working again without problems.

  • I can't get the two finger scroll to work, I have changed the settings and it still does not work. What do I do?, I can't get the two finger scroll to work, I have changed the settings and it still does not work. What do I do?

    How can I get the scroll to work?

    Thanks for replying!
    It's something else to try! I am quite savy, just frustrated over what should be a simple update!!!!!
    I did however try and install iTunes 10.7 on a different computer, which is clean as I ran anitvirus on it this morning, prior to downloading itunessetup.exe and it did the same thing on there too.
    Having spent nearly two days trawling the internet for help I am beginning to wonder if it is not a problem with 10.7 itself? Seems like quite a lot of people have the same issues as me....and it can't be the same thing on everyone's computer!
    I will try the antivirus on my laptop and go from there!!!
    Thanks again for your answer.

  • After 10.9.4 Update, two finger scrolling not working in any App

    I have all the right settings selected in System Preferences. Tried restarting the computer a couple times. I can't figure out why it is happening. Thanks for the help!

    Go to system preferences, trackpad. Then go to point and click and make sure tap to click is ticked. It worked for me.

  • Two finger scrolling doesn't work after switching to lion

    I recently upgraded my 2011 macbook pro to lion.  All trackpad functions seem to work except two finger scrolling, which worked fine before the upgrade.  I found the discussion forum that I've pasted below on how to fix this problem.  Being something of a luddite, I don't know how to either check or change the settings in the users global preferences.  Some instruction or other thoughts would be greatly appreciated, as I miss two-finger scrolling!
    Thanks!
    The correct value in the users global preferences file for com.apple.trackpad.scrollBehavior is 2 to enable scrolling.
    To set it correctly open a terminal window and type the following:
    defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scrollBehavior 2
    You will have to log out and back to see the setting change. Worked for me.
    you can check your current setting by typing:
    defaults read -g com.apple.trackpad.scrollBehavior

    It'd be much easier to go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Trackpad options... button > check Scrolling.

  • T440s Win 8.1 Remote Desktop two finger scrolling

    Two finger touchpad scrolling in Chrome desktop mode has been pretty bad on my T440s until the recent driver update.  But after the update, I've noticed now that in the tiles version of remote desktop, two finger scrolling no longer works.  It acts as a right mouse click and hold to select text or drag.  In the desktop version of remote desktop on windows 8.1, two finger scrolling works fine.
    I saw an article about editing the Synaptics config file to get two figure scrolling to work in the desktop version by adding a lince that references mstsc.exe, but that line is already in my Synaptics config file.  Not sure how to get Synaptics to pass gestures when using the tiles/metro version of RDP.  
    Any ideas?

    Well, I've confirmed it.  This is a Synaptics driver issue.  I went back to a 16.X version and the scrolling within windows 8.1 tiles version of remote desktop works.
    But, I can see what Synaptics did between these two drivers.  In the latest version of the driver, two finger scrolling is now handled like trackpoint scrolling now.  With trackpoint, if you hold the center button down and mobe the trackpoint vertically, a vertical scroll icon appears and scrolling works well in windows 8.1 and within a remote desktop session in using the tiles version.  The vertical scroll icon appears in both cases.  And when you do two figure scrolling in the desktop, the vertical scroll icon appears, but when you go to a remote desktop session (tiles version), two finger scroll does NOT work, no vertical scroll icon appears.  In the remote desktop session, the two finger scroll is treated like a right click and drag.  This is horrible because if you try to two finger scroll in an explorer window, you can accidentally move files or folders into other folders!!!!  FRUSTRATING and dangerous!
    In the desktop version of remote desktop, this is not an issue, when two finger scrolling happens, the vertical scroll icon does appear and scrolling works!
    In the old version of driver, the two finger scrolling must be handled independently of the way trackpoint scrolls... there is never a vertical scroll icon but scrolling always works, albeit herky jerky and buggy in some programs.  In the new version of driver, the bugginess is now fixed, except this new two finger scrolling issue has been introduced.
    I think the suggestion about modifying the Synaptic tp4table.dat file is a good one except that I can't seem to add a windows 8.1 tiles app to this file... have no idea how to do that as the tiles apps are OS protected and are not exactly .exes.  UGH!  Ideas about this??
    Just got off a horrible telephone support session trying to report this... tech kept asking me about my boot issues... I don't have boot issues!  I don't expect any help to come soon... I guess I hope someone at Lenovo or Synaptic actually reads this stuff!
    Please Synaptic... this should be a simple, quick fix.  

  • Two finger scroll problem in Preview

    When viewing a pdf with over 200 pages in Preview, for example a pdf book, two fringer scroll stops functioning periodically. In order to get it working again you have to click on the destop and then click back onto preview to get two finger scroll to work agian. Is this a limitation of the Preview app? This does not seem to be a problem with smaller pdfs.

    You aren't the only one having this problem.

  • Leopard broke my two finger scrolling - iscroll2

    very irritating... my ibook G4 was just updated with 10.5 and now the two finger scrolling provided by iscroll2 does not work... two finger mouse click still works though.
    anyone have a fix?

    other than the two finger scrolling not working anymore, how is leopard on your ibook (what are your ibook's specs by the way?)? i'm thinking of getting a family pack so i can install leopard for my mom's iBook G4 900Mhz and my sister's iBook G4 1Ghz and would like to know how other people's experiences have been.

  • T430s two finger scroll

    Hi!
    More often than not two-finger scroll only works after going back and for more that 10 times on the touchpad. I have the latest drivers but two finger scroll is sluggish and unreliable to pick up.
    Are there settings to improve two finger scrolling?

    Hi, theking2
    I did some research on your issue and I found this thread that has users with a similar issue. One of the users, hysy, linked a program called TwoFingerScroll that helped him and many others. You may want to give that a shot.
    Hope it helps,
    Adam

  • Synaptics Pointing Device two finger scrolling randomly fails in Firefox 4 RC

    I have an HP Envy laptop with a multitouch pad that uses two-finger scrolling gestures. In Firefox 4 RC, this gesture stops working from time to time. I do not believe the touchpad drivers are at fault, since gestures continue to work in other applications and I have restarted the device to no avail. Restarting firefox clears the problem. I did not have this problem in Firefox 3.6.x.

    Partial Solution!
    I have determined the cause of this problem (though I can't be sure it is the only cause of the problem.) If there is a .pdf file open in any tab, two finger scrolling stops working except for that tab. Closing the tab also solves the problem.
    However, this just means that I have a more specific bug to report, then, that the scrolling gestures do not function properly when a .pdf is open (with Acrobat viewer) in any tab.
