Hi,
Go to:
Control Panel -> Mouse -> Devices Settings
Click there ' Device Settings ' tab. Choose ' Synaptics TouchPad ' and little lower click on ' Settings... '. From the list which will be there select ' Virtual rewind ' and check two options: vertical and horizontal scrolling. Click ' Ok '.

This is detailed: I lost my touch pad scroll ability on my desktop when I installed Firefox, I am having a terrible time trying to sync my new Android tablet to my desktop, my desktop Firefox is acting very strangly (I need help trying to use it)

My Vista Home Premium desktop has not used Firefox for a long time. I just loaded it as well as on my Honeycomb Android. The statement that I made pretty much says what my problem is. I can use both of them at the same time and use a router with the air Verizon card installed.

Satellite L750-1E6 - How do I turn off the touch pad scrolling icon?

Hi
Please can anyone help? I want to disable an icon that appears when i use the Touch Pad. Think it's probably something to do with scrolling. I can't find any reference to it in the User Manual. It's annoying and I don't want it.
Toshiba L750-1E6 laptop Model PSK1WE-0D0009EN
Thanks for reading.

look at the windows task bar near the clock you have some icons and a little arrow....
look at the icons doaes any of them look like a touch pad?
if not press the arrow and there will apear other icons look for one that loocks like a touch pad...press it > pointing device prop... > device settings > scrolling untick enable vertical and horizontal scroling.....
or if you want to keep the scrolling options in the pointing device prop go to wheel and set the horizontal and vertical scroling to 1

Satellite A200 - Touch pad scrolling doesnt working

Hello,
my touchpad scrolling doesn't work.
I tried everything what is possible. But without result.
I think it is maybe on account of a bad driver.
But, I don't know...
In device settings -> settings, I have got only two points: overview buttons
I am sorry for my english, I know that I need to improve it.. :P
Help me pls!
Thank you...

Hi
I dont know if you have installed the OS manually from the Microsoft CD or if you used the Toshiba recovery CD. Using the Toshiba recovery CD you can set the notebook back to the factory settings.
If you have installed a clean OS then you have to install the Toshiba drivers in the right order. Check the installation instruction txt file on the driver page!
Note: There are two different touchpad drivers and both are needful!
Alps Electric Touch Pad Driver - This driver allows you to set the properties and functions for mouse control.
Synaptics Touch Pad Driver - This driver allows you to set the properties and functions for Touch Pad control.
Check and install both!!!
Then you should be able to configure the scrolling again.
Bye

My scrolling device doesn't work. I can't find it listed in the mouse hardware.

Thank you for posting. I have read your post, and I understand that your touch pad not working on your laptop, and you are looking for the driver of the touch pad. You could find the driver of the touch pad here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-G60-200-Notebook-PC-series/3837658/model/3860166/drivers?cc=us&lang=en Let me know if it helps. Regards,

Touch Pad Scroll stops working...

When I watch Videos on Youtube, my scroll on the touch pad stops working. I don't want to have to stop using the site just cause of this little problem, any ideas to a fix for this?

This actually happens randomly on my laptop as well, and pisses me off beyond all means. I have a G60-445D notebook and it seems the problem really is with the Synaptic Touchpad drivers itself or with my Windows 7 upgrade that doesn't like it. Originally the laptop was on Vista and never really had issues. After getting my 'upgrade disc' from bestbuy/hp I've had quite a few issues with the notebook (most have been easily resolved however).
Really for this issue, HP probably shouldn't be to blame, but I will in this case seeings I have to go outside of the HP site to actually download the drivers for it (Please do add the driver to my notebooks drivers page, its quite annoying to find a driver outside of HP for my HP laptop..especially since we no longer send operating system discs or anything like that with the pc's we purchase now...but thats another issue that i have all together).
Being that nobody else has responded to this, I'll try to give my two cents of a solution to you.
Solution 1 (stupid solution really, but when im lazy or without internet at the time, this is my usual solution):
1) start
2) control panel
3) device manager
4) mice and other pointing devices
5) find your mouse in there, mine says: Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad. Right click this and choose properties
6) Click the drivers tab.
7) If you have an option to "rollback" the driver, do that. If you do not have this option, it seems "update driver" SOMETIMES works for me, might need to reboot though.
8) if you DONT want to restart your computer after this when it comes up, you can click "no" most of the time and it still works.
Solution 2 (Still stupid, cuz HP doesn't have drivers listed for my device page):
1) go to http://www.synaptics.com/support/drivers
2) choose your OS and install the driver that you need.
3) Hope it works...if not, your best off trying solution 1.
Only problem is, this wont "STOP" it from failing, it will still crash on you from time to time. I'm also sure there are better solutions though. Hope this helped for time being alteast though.

My Lenovo touch pad scroll does not work with Firefox

I can't scroll up or down using the touch pad on my laptop. It works in I.E. but not in firefox.

Sounds like your scroll pad drivers need to be updated, but considering that Firefox 4 is months away from being released the new drivers might not be available yet. Check with your manufacturers website in the software / drivers downloads section for newer drivers.

Satellite laptop touch pad scroll function

Greetings, New to the site, new to any kind of forum. Looking for advise. I have a Satellite laptop L300, I don't have a mouse, I just use the touch pad. (this is a brand new PC to me) Every once and a while while moving my cursor on browser or email application, the the pointer turns into an up/down area and the screen auto scrolls. I'm not sure how I am turning this feature on, but I'd like to know how to disable it? Also, is there somewhere I can download an owners manual for this laptop?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mark

I figured out how to disable the scroll function.
Buried in some settings...
Thanks.

Touch pad scrolling problem

Hi, I have some problems with a scrolling function of the pad (synaptics touchpad): it stops working suddenly and coming back to life after the system restarts or even without a restart after some-time. I've checked the device settings - everything sets wright. Any ideas ?
Thank's a lot.
My laptop - Compaq presario cq61-120ej

Hello and thank you for using the HP webOS Help Forums!
This seems to occur on my Touchpad as well as others I work with. It is most likely a software issue of some kind. A restart should temporarily resolve the issue.

I'm unable to scroll down the page using laptop touch pad.

My FF was updated automatically. I'm unable to scroll down the page using the laptop touch pad scroll option.
It was working fine on FF before upgrade and after upgrade on IE browser. But, in FF 9 it is not working. Any help is appreciated.

Type '''about:config''' in the address bar and hit Enter key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''trackpoint'''
* right-click '''ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled''' preference, click '''Modify''' and change the value from '''-1''' to '''0''' (zero) or '''1'''
* click OK
-> Close '''about:config''' tab and Restart Firefox
Check which value (0 or 1) works.
Not related to your problem but do the following:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
* [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

The scroll feature on my touch pad does not work with 4.0. Works in all other apps including 3.6. What hapened???

I can not scroll through web pages with the scroll feature on my touch pad. It worked in 3.6 and all other programs that I use. I have tried 4.0 twice with the same results, I've restarted, rebooted etc.
This should not be application dependant but a system function.
Now I will either roll back to 3.6 where I have troubles with some secure sites or just dump the whole thing and try Chrome.

I have discovered the solution and it involves an issue I suspected. After the restore of my old Time Machine Lion files to my new MBP running ML, the restore restored my computer back to Lion. After an install of ML, my computer worked perfectly except the fancy Scroll and zoom featured we all love from the trackpad. Ha already installed ML on other partitions and the trackpad worked perfectly on them. Even the guest login's trackpad worked perfectly but not the main admin account.
First thought was to create a new admin account and copy everything from the old admin to the new admin and then delete the old admin account. Hated the idea because all files had to be copied rather than moved.
So what was left to do. I had thought of deleting all the apple preferences from the library and replace them with the contents of the library on another partition in ML. First I deleted old preferences many of which were old Lion preferences. That didn't solve the issue.
I forgot that Lion and ML HIDE the user library so I was working on the wrong library. Discovered the Terminal command "chflags nohidden ~/Library" and I chose to reveal the user library on a ML partition.
Solution:
I booted into another ML partition. I guess that I could have booted into the new admin user account and changed the permissions to access the old admin users Library But I chose to boot
from another ML partition: copy ALL the com.apple. XXXXX.plist files and the folder BY Host. It has special hidden files. Other way is to copy the Preferences folder we'll say into the Desktop.
I then proceeded to delete ALL the com.apple…….plist files and the Host folder into the trash. Then I copied all the apple.com…plist files and the Host folder and then rebooted. And now my wonderful Trackpad works as mountain Lion intended it to work.
I'm leaving this solution because there's someone else in the MacWorld with the same issue.

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit).

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

Hello Steve.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

I can no longer scroll with the button on my touch pad. Have tried everything on Firefox help and still can't scroll....HELP please.

I have just updated to the Firefox 4 Beta and from having no problems at all with the previous version I can now no longer scroll. I have reloaded my touch pad drivers and also been onto "about:config" and altered various things suggested by 'firefox help' and still no luck. The scroll button on the touch pad does still work as I can still scroll in Thunderbird and any of the other programs that I use, just not with Firefox any longer. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?
