    well one thing that is really annoying is that the touchpad scroll bar (the right side of the touchpad used to scroll) shuts off doing some certain tasks. i then have to restart the laptop to get it to work again. it seems like the program in the bottom right in the taskbar that tells you and monitors the touchpad just seems to disapear, making me not be able to scroll on programs (internet, games, windows apps, limewire etc.)

    does anyone know why its doing this or any updates? thanks

    I personally switched many of the scrolling options off on the Alps pad to bring it closer to Synaptic norms. Much better to use in its basic form i.e. no scrolling features and only tap to click enabled. I wish they had used Synaptics but Alps would be the second choice. It honestly works just as well with the settings I have described.
