    did you make sure it was enabled? I had to go into the synaptics driver manual and enable mine manually.

    control panel>hardware and sound>devices and printers>mouse now if you have the same drivers i have or close the red synaptics settings should be the very far right tab (device settings)... hit settings and it will take you right where you need to go. Multi gestures 2finger scrolling doesn't have a box but double clicking will bring up its options.

    now one finger scroll use the alienware command center. pretty self explained in there. its called virtual scrolling.
