Dv5t Touchpad not scrolling down.

Yesterday it prompted me to install a whole crap load of uploads onto my computer.

So after the Nvidia and two others (can't remember them) I was prompted up download a new driver that would solve the problem of the scroll randomly not working.

Well they solved the random part but now it's not scrolling at all.

 

Go to your pointer settings in your control panel. There are scroll settings you can change.

 

That doesn't solve my problem... I need more specification as to what exactly I'm supposed to do. =)

 

Here's a couple of suggestions. Try the first one thoroughly first, and if, after re-booting, it doesn't help, then go to #2.

I've noticed with the Synaptics TouchPad V6.5, that you have to sometimes reset a few of the customizations from time to time. . . Here's how to customize ALL of the settings - so you can hopefully fix your scrolling problem as well as make some other adjustments you prefer. (I've listed my settings preferences -- you, of course, will determine your own):

Right click: Desktop to open Personalize
Select: Mouse Pointers

Go to: Button configuration
Devices: Synaptics TouchPad V6.5 on PS/2 Port
Select: Right Handed or Left Handed
Double Click Speed: Set slider to slow - slowest ( if too fast, double clicks won’t open files)

Pointers:
Pointer Options:
Motion: Fastest
Check: Enhance pointer precision

Visibility: check Hide pointer while typing

From Synaptics Toolbar, select: Device Settings, then Settings
Double-click on each item in the tree, to show all customization options:

Double-click: Buttons
Left ButtonAction: Primary Click
Right Buton Action: Secondary Click

Double-click: Virtual Scrolling
Long Distance Scrolling
Check: Enable Edge Motion when scrolling
Scrolling Speed: Set at slowest

Scrolling selection: Scroll item under pointer

Double-click: Pointer Motion

Edge Motion: Perform Edge Motion when pointing and dragging
Check: Control speed with finger pressure
Edge Motion Speed: Medium slow

Double click: Sensitivity

Palm Check: Put close to Minimum. (If mouse gets erratic, increase toward Maximum. If mouse is not responsive to certain clicks, decrease toward Minimum.)

Touch Sensitivity: Light Touch – all the way toward Light Touch

Select a pointer speed: Put slider at the fastest point
(This technically controls the mouse buttons, but makes also touchpad feel faster.)

Once you've finished, you may have to re-boot to see the changes. If your problem is not solved, try suggestion #2.

2. Uninstall Synaptics program from Add/Remove program, then uninstall the touchpad from Device Manager and reboot. Let the system detect your touchpad and install driver.

 

The first option did the trick perfectly!

Thank you so much! =)

 

did the scrolling problem occur after uve watched an online flash video from sites such as youtube in fullscreen? i've still not been able to solve that problem even after reinstalling drivers.
