Dell Inspiron 1545 Touchpad Scrolling Not Working

Hey everyone, my touchpad scrolling just stopped working on my new dell inspiron 1545 and its getting kind of annoying. I installed Synaptics driver or whatever but I can see anything on scrolling, anyone know for me to change it?

Also minor problem, sometimes the the computer does something I tell it not to do, like it acts like i hit the control button and it brings up other things and I've researched a few things about it and one of the things said its a zoom function it has? Idk I'm not sure but if anyone can help me turn that off or even fix this problem I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

 

Hi there. Check and see if it has been disabled. Go to control panel > Mice / Mouse. Click on the trackpad, right click and click enable if it has been disabled. Or if it is enabled, click disable and re-enable it.

If that fails then we can try something else...

 

Uninstall the touch pad and then reinstall it from your driver disc. It seems to fix mine when it acted up. Did the trick for me.

 

actually u can go ahead uninstall the touchpad driver frm device manager and then install the latest driver frm support.dell.com for the OS that u r using in the system according to 32 bit or 64 bit , it will definately help resolve ur issue.

 

are u sure u have the synaptics device.afaik dell used to use synaptics in studio family and alps in inspiron.
In case u have the synaptics one(u r lucky if u have one coz its much better than alps) just do what ppl have said above i.e uninstall and then reinstall and chk ur settings.
