    I'm sick of the scroller on Touchpad of my Presario V6000. It shift my pointer when ever I type fast. It has disable buttom above the Touchpad mouse, but it'll disable hold Touchpad mouse if disable it. What I want to just disable the scroller on that Touchpad to void the shift pointer when ever I type fast.

    You should be able to disable the scrolling through the control panel. What OS are you using?? XP or Vista. In XP(or this should be the same path in Vista as well) go to Control Panel(classic view)->Mouse->Device Sttings Tab->Settings->Virtual Scrolling and uncheck the checkboxes & Apply.

    If you have the Synaptics pointing device (red) icon in the right lower corner, you can tweak it to disable the feature
