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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • Trackpad Problems: Two-Finger Sometimes Not Working

    This is a recent problem I've been having that's just surfaced only this week.
    Every now and then, as I'm two-finger scrolling, the trackpad will register only one finger, consequently moving the mouse only. Settings are alright, otherwise two-finger scrolling wouldn't be working at all. It works, but sometimes it does not.

    Sometimes recalcitrant trackpads can be corrected by a very through cleaning of the trackpad.  See if that is the cure.
    This could be it. I am using a protector film, but it's the same sheet that I've been using since 2009. The film could be deterioating. I will remove it and check. I hope the trackpad is not susceptible to staining over time...
    If not, open the MBP and see if the battery has swollen and is interfering with the trackpad.
    Good to know, though not likely not the case as the battery was recently changed.

  • Windows Network Shares do not work properly

    Ever since installing LEOPARD (now running 10.5.2) my network shares on our Windows server are not working properly. I can connect in the office via cifs:// and the share appears. I cannot copy a file to the share. I get the following message:
    "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    There is an icon with a size of 0kb on the share, and if I try to open it or trash it, I get a message telling me it is in use by the MAC OS. I can open a file from the share, but if I try to save it back to the share or save from an application I get a "There has been a network file permission error."
    If I try to copy the file to my desktop. I get a message that tells me that I don't have permission.
    If I try to connect using https:// I get a username or password not valid message. Both of the connection methods worked BEFORE I installed LEOPARD. The install was a clean install, not an upgrade. I NEED to be able to access the shares for my work. The shares are on a server running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2.
    How can I solve this? I actually have administrator privileges on the server with my login credentials, but this does not seem to matter.

    Experiencing the same exact problems here. Brand new Mac Pro on a Windows 2003 Server network. Somehow I don't think it is any rights problems in my case, as I can create and erase folders (created by me or others), and the Mac writes the .DS_Store files to the server...
    However, if I try to copy a single file or a folder containing files to the server, I get only a 0k file (inside the folder if I copy a folder) and after a while an error message saying the same things William Colvin2 mentions above (not sufficient privileges).
    Everything I have read seems to indicate that there is huge problems with Leopard with regard to this, and if that is true, they need to be fixed ASAP. I think I've tried and tested all the possible "solutions" (disabling SMB digital signature, GPO policies, disabling IPv6...) but still no solution in sight.
    Can we get some info from Apple on this whether it's being worked on, or what we can do to SOLVE this problem? As far as I know, Windows 2003 Server hasn't changed in that respect recently, whereas OSX has gone from 10.4 Tiger to 10.5 Leopard...
    Any help with solving the problem is greatly appreciated, so feel free to respond with anything that might be helpful. I would also be interested in hearing from people who have HAD this problem, but has gotten them solved. And if so, what solved it for you.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Magic Mouse - Two Finger Swipe not working in Finder + iTunes

    Hello,
    since OSX 10.8 I realized that in Finder & iTunes the backward/forward navigation has stopped working with Magic Mouse (two-finger-swipe gesture).
    I have already read a lot of forums as well as apple-discussions and didn't find a solution apart from MagicPrefs or any other 3rd-party-app.
    Is that a bug or just not meant to work? Does anybody know why Apple stopped providing this - very useful - gesture?
    Thank you for your time and have a perfect day
    Sascha

    Pual_31 suggested good advise...
    I would also recommend if that does not work, to reboot and run "repair permissions" from Disk Utilities.
    Also might suggest downloading and trying MagicPrefs, it's a free program for the Magic Mouse and it really works great. May help with your problem, may not but I'd give it a try.
