Acer Aspire 4730z Touchpad Scroll not working in windows 7

I just updated my Aspire 4730z to from windows vista to windows 7 and everything works perfectly, except that the scroll is not functioning. i went in control panel then mouse to see if there was a setting that could enable it. but i could not find anything. are there alternative windows vista touchpad drivers that could make this work? please help!

Thank you!

 

bumpppppp?

 

Go to synaptics and download latest drivers.

 

already did that. it had one download file for anyone right? scroll is still not working. i dont understand... it was working fine in vista.

 

I too recently installed Win7 on this laptop and was able to resolve the touchpad scrolling problem by first updating the synaptic drivers (as you did) and then the Alps pointing device driver. It's an exe for some HP laptop but believe me it works!

Did this work for you? For some strange reason mine required launch manager before it made synaptics kick in which is very strange, maybe they are both integrated with each other on my system but until I installed both I had issues with both the touchpad and cinedash.

 

I don't recall installing the launch manager, but for certain, after installing their Synaptic's driver, I had no scrolling. I then downloaded and installed the Alps touchpad driver from the Acer site Touchpad_ALPS_v7.x2.2002.208_W7x86x64 which after a reboot, also did not change or add the scrolling behavior.


However, after running this one from the HP site, I have scrolling again, and it even has a much expanded functionality than it did originally with Vista.
