    When I use the scroll on the touchpad of the dv5t it seems that i can only scroll down...So the browser often goes to the bottom of the page and I can use the touchpad scroll to go back up..I believe i have the latest driver for the touchpad...

    Edit: Nevermind I think it only does this for Google Chrome

    Yeah! I was just searching to see whether others have noticed this! I just installed their update, too, but Chrome (alone) still shows this behavior with my DV2000 series as well as my wife's DV6000.
    There is a "report bug" option in the page menu on Chrome, so please let them know.

    I noticed this same behavior in Google Chrome in my dv5t as well as a friend's dv9000. I *do not* think it's Chrome's fault, though. Chrome scrolls normally with an external scroll mouse. There are other applications where the scroll function of the built-in touchpad does not work at all - on my machine, the Star Trek: Legacy game and the Windows Start Menu Programs section. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
