    The rectangular scroll portion of the touchpad on my 9750 has stopped responding. I have gone into mouse properties but cannot find any settings pertaining to the scroll portion of the device. The "wheel" tab in mouse properties provides no apparent functionality for it, either. Anyone have any experience with this part?

    Thank you.

    If you haven't already reinstalled the drivers, do that first - they'll be on the driver CD the notebook came with. Go into the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > and remove the current ones, if any.

    Try setting the sensitivity up as well.

    Here are a couple of neophyte questions in response to your good suggestion:

    - Having never reloaded drivers from an accompanying CD, can one select just the driver wanted without loading all the other drivers on the CD?

    - How does one navigate after uninstalling the touchpad drivers and before reinstalling them?

    Issue resolved. Downloaded drivers from sagernotebooks.com. Touchpad working good as new. ChazMan does it again!

    Hey, glad to hear it's fixed. I'm probably going to have to reinstall my drivers as well - I installed a Microsoft mouse, and it 'takes over' all the options for the mouse in the control panel, so I can't control sensitivity of the touchpad.

    Yes - you can just install the ones you want. It's only if you did a reformat and have no drivers installed that you should do them in order.

    Thats kinda weird rob, i've installed my G7 about 2 months ago and absolutely no issues with the touchpad "losing" the driver. Anyway, good that Chaz got you the solution.

    Cheers...

    It does seem like an unusual problem. For most of a month I have been trying out several different registry cleaners and HDD cleaners, and suspect a run of one them got to the touchpad software. Whatever the cause, the driver reinstallation was the simple and still lasting fix.
