    The scroll function, scroll the page up or down by sliding your finger on the right hand side of the keypad is inop. I have not used this function very much, I went to use it yesterday and no cigar. Any advice please...........

    Thanks

    I think there is a setting for this in the control panel for the mouse/keypad. I seem to remember it on my CF-74, not sure if it is like that for all TBs with a keypad that has the scroll function. Check and make sure the scroll function is enabled

    Sorry man, Vista. I looked all thru the mouse settings and can't find anything that would hindering it. I bet I have not used it 5 times. I keep forgetting about it, went to use it last night and no go!

    I will put the vista caddy in mine and look where the settings are
    Are you taping the right side and drawing your finger down, and it won't work?
    When you place finger on the right side edge will it move the curser?

    I can click it and it will move the cursor down, but no page. If I double click it will paste.

    Download the latest drivers from the panasonic .jp site for the touchpad and try to reinstall the driver
    I have sp-1 loaded on vista, it might be an issue that has not come up here as most of us use xp

    Toyo: are you sure whether your applications actually support that function? For me, scrolling that way seems to only work with very few programs. I can get Acrobat Reader and Powerpoint to scroll, but no luck in Word, Firefox, and various editors so far.

    Heck I didnt know it wouldn't work for everything? I figured if my mouse can do it, my pad should? I will try it on several diff apps.

    Yes, I have no idea why it is that way. The mouse-wheel scrolls everything, only the touchpad is picky. Odd.

    Works in Word, Wordpad and Notepad but not Firefox (regardless of versions)

    Toyo, perhaps you defined the scroll area too narrow?
