    Hey guys.

    Just got this sweet little machine. Is the touchpad capable of scrolling up down left right for web pages? I can't find the properties for it anywhere.

    If anybody knows, please help me out.

    Thanks.

    hi, put your finger to the right edge of the screen, and scroll using your finger. It will automatically detect that you are scrolling.
    You can also set these under Apoint touch pad software (should be installed if you are using the included OS)

    Hmmm.... sure doesn't detect automatically. Where in the control panel is the Apoint touchpad software? Is it in the mouse option in hardware and sound cause I just don't see it.

    Thanks.

    I didnt have to adjust anything to be able to do it. not even after I did a vista reinstall. just downloaded the drivers, installed them, and there it was. the right-hand border of the pad is the one.

    Man, this is just odd why it's not working on mine. Can anybody provide a quick link to the latest touchpad drivers for vista. I saw it somewhere but now coming up empty through search.

    Thanks.
