    I've just bought a used Dell Latitude D830 (UK, XP SP2) and find the touchpad won't scroll. Otherwise pad, trackpoint and buttons all work ok. I went into Control Panel assuming that the scroll areas weren't set up. Not so - unlike on my old C640, there are no separate Synaptics set-up tabs. Nothing - and it claims there's a Microsoft mouse plugged into PS2!
    Can anyone suggest what's wrong, please? (The driver is version 5.1.2600.0 dated 2001, btw.)
    TIA

    Windows generic drivers probably don't come with these settings. Download the Dell touchpad utility.
