Touchpad and the scroll xps m1530

The scroll in the touchpad stopped working. It was working fine...may be i did something to disable it if there is!
Can anyone help me return it?

 

Probably its driver related, and there have been many reports like this... You could try removing the Alps drivers and use the synaptics drivers instead.. they are far better.

thanks i'll try that now

 

i did it but the scroll also didn't work...no problem in the pointer though

 

have you tried checking the touchpad settings again just to make sure they are all fine? I don't know why the scroll is not working still.. are you using any external mouse or something and have some control panel, like the setpoint or whatever for logitech where you probably changed some settings ??? and may be they are affecting the scroll function here?

Btw, are you on the new BIOS version? the A09? Just making sure..

 

it's just a regular mouse

 

Hey, you got the 1530!!! Congrat's!

What kind of mouse is it???

Thanks
it is fujitsu siemens mouse. I removed it and restarted but the problem is still there.
Is there an option or shortcut to enable and disable the scroller in the touch pad. It works in the mouse btw

 

It should be in the touchpad settings, No??? from the control panel > mouse or touchpad settings??? Have you checked there? Strange b/c for me it just works fine (and its been working fine) even with the logitech mouse that I have.. anyway..

 

Yes but nothing there for the scroll of the touchpad

 

Hey Is the mouse new or older??

I have been seeing user posts that the following has been working for people out here... if you want, you can try it out... See if any of them works for you!!!! Good Luck.

Btw, are you on Vista?? or XP? Just asking!!

 

not that old. A year i think

Thanks, i'll try them
I'm on vista

 

Yeah, I think one of them will work... and I have seen on the web, it worked for a lot of people... Good luck and let us know how it went. Cheers.

 

Thanks a lot it worked.
I downloaded the alps driver and changed the gestures

 

Glad things worked form FKid's suggestions, and such....
When, I first got my lappy, I was using an old mouse..and it was giving me *fits* so I switched to a *bluetooth*, and it has been great

NOW, get to enjoying that lappy

Cin

 

Thanks a lot

 

too bad u cant get multitouch drivers in windows.....

{the touchpad is definitely hardware capable from those people using linux or hackintosh on the m1330/m1530}

 

Great Glad that it worked.... Have fun. Cheers.

 

Which one did you download? I'm using the Fujitsu driver which works w/ scrolling, but I would like to be able to do forward/back and middle click...any drivers for this?

 

here it is:
