    Is anyone else having some problems with the middle mouse button scroller on the 6860 touchpad? In some programs it doesnt work even though the program supports mouse scrolling. It doesnt seem broken either though; as i can scroll webpages easily with it. Any suggestions?

    are you referring to the scroll area on the touch pad? i would suggest uninstalling it and reinstalling the newest driver... animal has the link to it on his nvidia driver page

    good luck

    Yeah the red-orangish scroll area on the right side of the touchpad; sorry for being vague. I'll do what you say but wouldnt uninstalling the touchpad driver make the touchpad cease working? and i dont have an usb mouse either.

    Nope, it would just make Vista use a default driver for it until you reinstall the specific driver. You'll only lose the scrolling function of your touchpad when you uninstall the driver.
