836508 2009-12-04 19:18:00 My touch pad has suddenly stopped the up-down finger sliding function from working. I can't find anything about it under 'help'. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks I have Vista home. black (4099)

Cheers :)

836513 2009-12-05 23:52:00 Do you have Comodo? I had this exact problem on my laptop, Comodo was blocking the touchpad program from doing some certain operation, and the scroll failed to work. After added the program as a trusted application the scrolling worked again Agent_24 (57)
836514 2009-12-06 18:26:00 No, don't have comodo. Have installed latest driver, but scroll still not working. About the time it started not working, I notice Windows had installed a Synaptics update. I tried to uninstall it but can't bring it up on the uninstall page of Windows updates. black (4099)
836515 2009-12-06 20:06:00 That will be it then. NEVER install driver updates from windows update. They have a habit of breaking functionality just like this.

Try going to device manager, find the touchpad, go to properties and try "roll back driver"
