    So on my dell, i have a touchpad (no duh) and with Windows Xp, I could run my finger down the right side, and it would scroll up and down pages. Back in..... i dont know... April i updated to Windows Vista. Ever since that update.... I can not scroll with my touchpad. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    locate and install the driver for the touchpad, and there should be a program that installs along with it, that controls the scrolling feature(I had the same problem, took me 2 months to figure it out :(). maybe even try windows update.
