    Anyone know how to enable scrolling on the XP3 1330 touchpad? I just got Vista reinstalled on mine and I cannot find where to enable this. The mouse setting in control panel dont seem to have any place to enable it.

    for me, installing the touchpad drivers(synaptic) gives u a synaptic control menu that allows u to config the size of the scrolling area, sensitivty etc.

    tried it on my XPS M1330 Vista x64...

    mine should be a synaptics touchpad... tried it with different drivers, but two-finger-scroll reports either i haven't restarted the system, or my Touchpad doesn't support multiple fingers....

    what synaptic drivers did u use?

    im going to try the 12.1.0.0 found below... will see if it works (will take like 3-4 restarts after each install/uninstall... sigh)
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15103

    EDIT: that driver didnt work....

    Device Settings @ Synaptics Control panel reports device as "Synaptics TouchPad V6.3".... might be an old touchpad

    trying lenovo's (actual 12.0.1)

    EDIT: no dice... doesnt work... what link did u use?

    I used the one supplied by dell. Anyway unlucky, it dose no work with the M1330. I guess its TouchPad is too old to use it like you said.
