    I just bought a LG P300 3 days ago :rolleyes:
    and i noticed that the scroll up/down and left/right doesnt work sometimes, however, once i restart or even turn the laptop back from stand by it will work again, for a while :mad:

    so is it Vista's, a problem's or the laptops' fault? :confused:

    Go to control panel>hardware and sound>keyboard.
    check if your device status is on "working properly".
    maybe u need to update the driver?

    Or perhaps regress the driver that Windows Update applied in favor of the newer driver available from the manufacturer of the touchpad.

    I've seen a number of Windows Update drivers (Synaptics TouchPad; Wireless Network card; Modem; Sound; Video; ...) that were older than what was available on the hardware manufacturers site. Had I allowed Windows Update to install them I would have regressed the driver to an earlier version.

    I am now keeping the drivers on my PC so that I can update them if necessary after installing Window Vista SP1.
