    Well my touchpad scroll feature seems to have a mind of its own. Sometimes it works and then it wont. Im using the driver off of sagers website. Any ideas?

    I dunno. I tried both the one that came with it and the one from Sager`s site. No difference. And it just dissapears by itself,then comes back. I think it`s haunted :D

    hmm never had a single issue with the touchpad..

    did you go into the mouse settings and turn on the synaptics scroll feature?? you need to reset it when you update the driver

    control panel, mouse, look under the synaptics settings not the scroll wheel one. i think its called auto scroll or something like that

    sorry its called virtual scroll.. if that does not work reinstall the driver but remove the old one fully first. then use ccleaner to clean the registry or driver sweeper before re-installing it again.

    also get k-lite codec pack from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=4620&s=95

    if its when playing a movie (as long as virtual scroll is turned on and set right) install these codec's there may be a conflict with ffdshow. i had k-lite installed when i sent that to you.. everything worked perfectly..

    Happens on my 5796 too. Used to happen on my hp dv1050 with Synaptics touchpad too.

    The touchpads themselves are the same as mac ones (synaptics pads) it is just that there does not exist a windows driver that supports multitouch (and I have looked...)

    Anyone want to write one?
