    Yeah I've noticed the same thing. Any ideas? Ideally I'd like to download a driver or app to use two finger scroll like on my MBP.

    Hi could somebody please tell me how to get vertical scrolling enabled on touchpad on sony vaio TZ.

    When I open sony vaio control center and try to enter >> Touch panel >> I get the message " You can't launch"

    Is there a driver I'm missing?

    Try reinstalling the touchpad driver for your TZ, and if it still doesn't work, then reinstall Sony Vaio Control Center.

    Even better, does anyone know of a mod that allows a windows machine to operate the touchpad like a macbook?

    Macbook touchpads allow right-clicking and two-finger scrolling...
