Okay I may have found a solution to my GRAW problem, I just need to change the defaults. I have found the files and I can open them in notepad to edit them but it wont let me save them. How can I do this so it will let me save the files? Here is the change I am making, god willing it works if i can just get it to save
and I am changing it to this
should this do the trick or I am going to wind up being forced to go to five below and buy a cheap external usb mouse?

Wow, are you trying to play shooting games with your touchpad? That's not a real good idea. If you don't have one by now, and are even remotely serious about gaming, go pickup a mouse. You'll find it MUCH more enjoyable.

I tried it with a friends mouse once...just didnt feel as natural as using the touch pad. sad i know. I just like keeping it all as portable as possible. with a mouse, that requires the use of a hard surfeca like a table, there goes lying in bed playing, playing on a plane, car trip, hospital waiting room. stuff like that.

Well, the mouse isn't for use everywhere. I was just saying it's good to have a mouse if you are really going to game. You can still use your touchpad when needed, but the mouse would be much more comfortable when gaming at home. Other than that, I really can't help you with your problem. I tried play WoW and BF2 on a toucpad about a year ago and swore it off in 10 minutes.

Let me ask you this, how do you feel about the new Prince of Persia game with a touchpad?
-
3rd person titles aren't too bad on a touchpad, so if you are able to handle GRAW and MoH, you shouldn't have a problem with Prince of Persia. You sir are on an "old game" kick, aren't you? At least you are playing older games that still deserve a play through...

Eh. Cant really afford new games right now. Might have talked my mom into getting me arkham asylum on september 15th though. Besids all these old games were deals (and persia isnt that old). MoH:10th Aniversary (5 games 20 Bucks) Hulk, PoP, and GRAW (5 Bucks each at Five Below)
-
Those are great deals! They're all great games (aside from Hulk, which I haven't played), and well worth the $5 price tag, that's for sure.

Good news! I found a solve to my problem...and I think it should have been the FIRST thing I did. UBISOFT's Website has patches for the game (and A LOT of them, and lo and behold, one of them was a patch that allows you to remap the scroll controls which means I was able to set the arrows as I wanted. Still I am very proud of myself for thinking of changing the control directory whether it would work or not.
And next week I think I am going to pick up One of the Rainbow Six games as they have a few of them there as well.
