    Hey guys,
    my scrolling on my SZ touchpad seemed to stop working. It used to be if i moved my finger along the right hand side edge of the pad I could scroll. Is there anyway to activate this feature? The loss seemed to coincide with the VAIO SZ updates or installing a wirless mouse.
    Any help or suggestions gratefully appreciated.
    Cheers!
    i. :confused:

    Has anybody been able to get the back and forward functions of the touchpad to work with mozilla firefox? I get it working under IE, but not FF.

    This is a known bug (has been for quite a while), no known solution that I'm aware of.

    It works for me under Firefox and it's really annoying as I kept going backward when I didn't want to.
    So I disabled the horizontal scrolling

    I didnt even know that was possible? How do you do it in IE? I only knew the side scrolling (up and down the page).
