    Asus UX31E Elan Touchpad driver V10.5.5.0, wonky two-finger scroll in "Standard User" with IE9

    I have a brand new Asus UX31E i7 Ultrabook. It is running the stock image from the factory and has the Elan touchpad. It has the V10.5.5.0 Elan driver.

    If you log in as a "Standard User", and then try to browse the internet with IE9, and use the two-finger gesture to scroll, the browser seems to zoom in and out of the page randomly. Almost like it wants to see a two-finger zoom instead of a two-finger scroll.

    If I log in as an "Administrator", this behavior doesn't occur at all.

    I tried disabling all the two finger gestures in both accounts via the Elan control panel, and the weird zooming in and out still happens.

    I tried creating a fresh "Standard User" profile, and it still happens.

    Can anyone else reproduce this issue as well? Is this a known bug with the Elan Touchpad driver and "Standard User"?

    Can anyone just try this, so I know it's not just my machine?

    Create a standard user account.
    Log in as the standard user.
    Open IE9.
    Try to use two fingers to scroll around.

    See if you notice anything weird about the behavior.

    I just purchased a zenbook and am having the exact same problem -- two finger scroll zoom IE in standard user but not Administrator. Did you ever figure out a solution?

    Thanks.

    Never mind ... latest driver corrected it. Disappointed that ASUS LiveUpdate didn't load the new driver automatically.

    Your first problem is you're using Internet Explorer for anything PC related.
