Windows 7: No two finger scrolling

Fresh install of Windows 7 on a boot camp partition.  Installed the drivers off of a snow leopard cd.
Right click works, two finger scrolling doesn't.
In device manager, the "Apple Trackpad" driver is dated 3/09.
Any ideas?

The Windows Support software is installed from within Windows not while making a bootable usb. You start Windows and the Windows Support software should start automatically from the usb and be installed. If for some reason it does not install, from Windows navigate to the Windows Support software and double click the setup.exe file.

  • 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 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

  • 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.

  • Windows 10 Driver for Touchpad - two finger scrolling!

    Hi,  I just upgraded my HP Spectre x360 to Windows 10.  All went smoothly except that it appears to have killed two finger scrolling on my touchpad and says that the driver is invalid when I try to look into the synaptic settings.  I don't want to uninstall because there isn't a replacement driver that I can see. Is there going to be a Windows 10 upgraded driver please? Or is there a workaround? Thanks for any help. Will

    I've upgraded mine, and I'm using the windows 8.1 synaptics clickpad drivers, 2 finger scrolling works, everything works like in windows 8.1. Maybe you can uninstall that driver and reinstall using the windows 8.1 you can download from the support site. Hope I helped. =)) By the way the only thing I'm bummed about the touchpad is that the 3 finger gesture for invoking task view or the desktop view does not work. Lets hope for a driver update on that one.

  • Windows 10 -problems with touchpad and two-finger scrolling

    I upgraded to Windows 10, and the touchpad settings default to enable reverse scrolling direction with the two-finger scrolling. I disabled that, and it works all right.. But when I restart my computer, the change isn't saved and I have to do it all over again Is there any way to get the system to recognize the change to the settings after rebooting? I would think it would be simple, but even creating a separate profile doesn't work.

  • Two finger scroll no longer working in windows 7 HP Pavillian 15t- n200

    Hello!  My two finger scroll on the touchpad is no longer working!  I have run the BIOS again and disconnected battery with power off for 60 sec but still not working. Please help!  Thank you so much

    Hi eg1978
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having issues with your two finger scrolling. I have a couple of things for you to try. This HP document Using and Configuring the TouchPad has a section on Turning individual gestures off and on and make sure that the two finger scrolling is enabled. If that does work then reinstall your Synaptics TouchPad Driver.
    Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

  • Can I stop two-finger scroll from stopping playback in 3?

    Does anyone know if it's possible for Soundtrack 3 NOT to stop playback whenever a two-finger scroll occurs, no matter how miniscule?
    I'm afraid my habit of editing, developed under Soundtrack 2, involves almost constant two-finger scrolling. Making matters worse, I'm still adjusting to the no-button track pad on my new MacBook Pro, so I sometime leave my thumb where the button was on my old machine. Even a little move that doesn't even reposition the window stops playback. I actually thought that playback was randomly stopping, so I restarted twice before I realized what was happening.

    Same problem here.
    Also, when horizontal scrolling with two fingers, the slightest inclination of the gesture up or down starts zooming in or out while moving. SInce zoom centers on the playhead, it keeps jumping back there at the same time. Very frustrating.
    It is so bad that the interface feels better when I set scroll wheel to "Scrolls window content" in prefs. The drawback is that this makes my USB mouse's conventional scroll wheel do nothing, unless I am holding shift for horiz. scroll. And it still does not solve the problem that playback stops on any 2-finger scroll, even in the now disabled up-down direction.

  • I am using Mac running OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) and Firefox 26. Two finger scroll down is not working all of a sudden only with Firefox.

    Hardware : Macbook Pro
    Operating System : OS X Mavericks v10.9.1
    Browser : Firefox v26.0
    All of a sudden, two finger scrolls doesn't work. Thats only when I am within Firefox Window. Everywhere it just works great. I got NO scroll bars at the edges of browser(Firefox) too. No way of proper browsing other than switching to Safari.
    Request to fix this asap.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Raja Gopal M

    I'm having the same problem but what I found was the scrolling on my iMac was it works until you try and swipe to go back a page. Then the only solution is the quit the program and restart it.
    Spec is an Apple magic track Pad on my iMac with OS X 10.9.
    I'm currently using FireFox v25 but the same issue is in v27.0.1.

  • Two finger scrolling while dragging files in finder

    Hi guys.
    I'm new to this forum but have used it in the past so I'll start by saying thank you for all the people who post on here.
    Now for my query, and this one is driving me nuts because it seems like such a simple thing that is either missing or I can't figure out how to use for the life of me.
    I know while dragging files in finder when you take them near to the bottom or top of the window it will scroll up or down. The problem is the area on which you have to move you mouse is about 5 mm big and if you go too far it stops scrolling etc. It's very clumsy. It amazed me that while dragging a file I could not still two-finger scroll, which would mean that you could control the speed. It would also be a lot more efficient.
    I have searched countless forums and through google but cannot find an answer. If anyone can tell me how to two-finger scroll while dragging files please help me?! Or if there are any plug-ins that have more customisability that could allow it.
    Thanks in advance for you help!

    It is not possible to two-finger scroll while dragging.

  • Windows 8.1 Two Finger Tap Right Click

    So, for anyone who has upgraded to 8.1 and suddenly lost their two finger tap right click functionality, I highly suggest that you use this: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-enable-two-finge​r-tap-for-right-click-in-windows/.  It restores the functionality of the trackpad and does not interfere with the synaptics clickpad.  Just make sure that if your synaptics two finger scroll still works, you turn OFF that feature in the downloaded app.
    Until HP figures out how to make their software compatible with 8.1 (which, if they're listening, SHOULD NOT BE AT ALL DIFFICULT NEARLY TWO WEEKS AFTER LAUNCH), this is an acceptable workaround.  Also, I'm sure many of you have already figured this out, but HP customer service is atrocious and definitely not worth your time.  If you ask them how to solve this, they'll tell you to restore your PC to factory settings and completely reinstall Windows 8.1.
    I hope this helps anyone else who's experiencing this problem, as I only decided to post it after spending several hours fruitlessly searching for a solution.

    On updating from windows 8 to windows 8.1, my Synaptics touch-pad lost the two finger right-click gesture.
    Even after frustatingly trying to install-uninstall new driver software, problem didn't solve.
    Finally I find the solution in registry entry:-
    Go to Start > Run and type Regedit in Windows 7, or in Windows 8 type Regedit at the start screen.
    Once open navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Synaptics > SynTP > TouchpadPS2
    There, right click and select New, DWORD Value. Name the value '2FingerTapAction'. Once created, double click it and set the Value Data to '2'.
    If '2FingerTapAction' is already there, double click it and set the Value Data to '2'.
    On certain systems the registry folder where the "2FingerTapAction" key is located may be named differently. e.g. On Envy x2 it is called "TouchPadRMIHID2c".
    Then log off and log on, and it should all work. Easy.
    I hope the problem is resolved.

  • Windows 8.1 two finger gestures not working

    After I updated to windows 8.1 from  windows 8 yesterday, none of my two finger gestures are working. (e.g. two finger scroll, two finger click, or zoom) I tried updating my Synaptics driver and nothing has changed. I still can not use any of my two finger gestures. One finger scrolling is working properly but the two finger gestures are my favorite. All my gestures worked fine until I updated to windows 8.1...
    Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? 
    Please help!

    Hello HelpMe0,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand two-finger prompts are not working since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I will do my best to help, but first, I require the computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your product number
    Thanks!

  • Two finger scrolling does not work ONLY on Firefox

    This just started today, suddenly my two finger scrolling doesn't work but only when I'm in Firefox, offline and on Safari and Chrome it's fine. Restarting Firefox only fixes it for a few minutes, then it stops working again. All of the suggestions I've found that I've tried haven't worked, please if anyone could help and also break it down fairly easily, I'd really appreciate it.

    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.

    The same issue happens on Firefox 35.0 running in safe mode, Mavericks 10.9.5, both with Magic Mouse and normal standard mouse...
    It's unbeliaveble this issue is going on since more than one year ago, I can find people complaining about it since December 2013!
    Oh, one more thing: I don't have a two finger swipe configuration, I have single finger swipe, so the actual problem is about scrolling the page in itself (considering I've tested it with a normal standard mouse as well....).

  • 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.
