    My CS laptop has the Synaptics trackpad driver for it. Even with the latest version (which I have as 11.2.1) it has an issue where, after watching a flash movie in fullscreen (such as on youtube or hulu), it no longer scrolls by dragging your finder on the edges. The pad still moves the cursor, but scrolling does not. I have to restart the touchpad driver to get it working again.

    Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

    Happens to me as well. The mouse I have attached also loses it's scrolling in firefox after watching, say, a YouTube video.

    Sorry, I made a mistake. The trackpad loses it's scrolling and the mouse loses it's backward/forward buttons (buttons 4 and 5) after watching youtube. This only happens in firefox tho, and scrolling and everything still works just fine in Explorer.

    I have the same type of problem on my HP Pavilion Tx1270 with the Synaptics Touchpad. The virtual scrolling stops working after leaving youtube fullscreen. The problem could be solved by taping the touchpad once somwhere in the youtube page then hit "space" two times.
