Satellite 5200: Question on TouchPad scroll function

My Satellite 5200 Series has a scroll wheel PHYSICS to the title of the two touchpad buttons 'the mouse'. I found a useful feature heavily but cannot find all the current models that have preserved it.

It was rejected?

Is there another way to scroll with newer machines?

I would rather not add an external mouse because it blocks a precious USB port AND I actually use my laptop outside on my KNEES.

Hi Tatterdemalion,

Most modern laptops using a touch pad have a scrolling function software (which can be disabled if you wish) to control automatic scrolling. This is very useful for navigation text in Word documents or web pages etc., the technique (when enabled) is to set the top left or right of the touchpad to 'activate' and by touching this area temporarily, it will change the pointer of the foam to indicate the auto scroll option. Then only, drag the pointer slightly down and the screen starts to scroll until you tap the key again.

A manual scroll mechanism is also available and can be used simply by stroking the right side of the touchpad (down to scroll down and up to scroll to the top) and the bottom of the touchpad to scroll left and right.

I find these features useful, but I know other people who find them extremely irritating. It is useful to check.

Kind regards

  • Touchpad scroll function: permanent setting.

    I have an ASUS notebook PC and when I open the 'control panel' and set the touchpad scroll function it will NOT STAY SET and I have to reset it each time I start the computer, then how I put it permanently? I am a novice on computers; your help will be appreciated.

    Hello

    What is the model number of the computer?

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the touchpad.

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    (a) open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (c) in Device Manager, click on mouse and other pointing devices , and then double-click the touchpad driver.

    (d) click on the driver tab, then click on uninstall the driver and follow the instructions.

    See the link below and download the latest drivers for touchpad to the computer and check if it helps.

  • Satellite A200 - Touchpad scroll function stop working after BIOS update

    Hello

    After that I updated the BIOS (drawn from the Toshiba site), the scroll function stop working. I can still click, move the mouse pointer, but can no longer navigate the touchpad. Relocation of Synaptics driver is not the problem. The strange thing is that the computer detects only my touchpad as standard pointing device (port: PS/2) device. "Graph of pressure" and "Moodpad" function also stop working and complain "this program requires a Synaptics TouchPad, and the Synaptics Pointing device driver.
    My computer is Satellite A200 PSAE0C-TR605C.

    Anyone know the reason?
    Thank you

    Hello

    What operating system is installled and which is more interesting: what version of BIOS you have installed? Why I ask? Because there are 2 different BIOS versions, one for Vista (1.80) and one for XP (5.20) which means that when you Flash a BIOS XP on a computer with Vista installed then some functions do not work properly as the FN keys or the touchpad.

    If please check this out and make sure you have the appropriate BIOS installed.

  • My touchpad scroll function does not work in Firefox 4

    4 years Dell Inspiron 1520 with a Synaptics touchpad, running XP. Just downloaded FF4 last night, now discovered that my scrolling on the touchpad function no longer works. It's very irritating. If no fix is available, how to go back to the previous version of FF?

    Try running Firefox in questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode. If it works properly in this configuration, then one of your modules is the culprit.

    By the way, I recommend you visit the Plugins check page and update your plugins. You are potentially expose your system to attack with some versions you have installed at the moment. Their update can also solve the problem with your touchpad.

    In case the previous steps do not resolve the problem for you, you can return to the previous version and secure that 3.6.16 as follows.

    1. Go to Download Firefox v3.6.16 and download it to your desktop.
    2. Then go to add/remove programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, etc., the customizations (don't tick the box).
    3. Reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    4. Finally, run the downloaded installation file.
  • Portege Z930: How to enable the TouchPad scroll function

    Hello

    Someone knows how to turn on * scrolling option * (vertical and horizontal) on * Portégé z-930 *?
    I tried to find an option for activation in the menu settings of the mouse (Windows 8), but unfortunately not.

    Click and zoom function does not work well.
    It is hard to believe that this model do not support touch pad scroll at all. ((

    Please, advice.
    I thank very you much in advance!

    Hello

    Of course, you should be able to find the touchpad settings in Control Panel-> mouse-> pointing device (last tab)-> settings button.

    But this requires the Synaptics touchpad driver installed. This driver has been installed?
    If this is not the case, see this page of the Synaptics driver:

  • HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC: touchpad scroll function not working after installing windows 7 (64)

    After a complete hard drive failure, I installed Win 7 everything works, as far as I know, except scrolling on the touchpad. I went through all the troubleshooting I can find.  The last one I tried was in the Control Panel, mouse and look for the details of the touchpad. It is not listed there.  I can't find a driver to install HP and Driver Downloads. Where can I find a driver for the touchpad with scrolling? The only thing listed under the mouse in the menu of device driver is a PC mouse.

    I'm sorry that the link of the page didn't work.  HP has problems with the website support, and even for me at times, page links do not work.

    As for the installation of Windows 9, how to acquire that is to order the HP recovery media. It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP.  You get these by contacting HP Customer Service.

    OK, I have a laptop Satellite L45 and I need help.
    The functionality of scrolling on the touchpad worked for awhile and now it will not work.

    I've looked throughout the computer and tried everything and nothing seems to work.

    You can find it in

    Here, you should check the * virtual scrolling *.

  • Lost satellite L450-136 - scroll function

    Hi all

    I seem to have lost the ability to scroll using the edge of the normal scroll OK. All ideas welcome

    Hey,.

    The virtual scrolling feature is controlled by the driver for the touchpad. Probably, you have changed some settings of the touchpad?
    You can check the touchpad scroll function (Control Panel > mouse > advanced).

    In addition, you can try to reinstall the whole touchpad driver. Take a look on the Web from Toshiba site to download:

  • Satellite 5200 - Touchpad scrolling in Opera / Touchpad backlighting

    Recently downloaded the Opera browser & find scrolling Synaptics stopped working!
    All other functions seem good & scrolling is always fine with MS Explorer
    Can someone tell me if this can be fixed?
    [Using a Satellite 5200-902]

    Also Touchpad light turns off after 5 seconds. [This is normal]
    Does anyone know if it is possible to find the code and change it to say 60 seconds?

    Any help on the above would be appreciated
    Thank you

    I m not sure but I think that Opera explore doesn t support this option.

    But if opera supports this option, then perhaps, you must activate only in the opera settings?
    But sorry I n t use Solution Explorer and so I can't give you a statement exactly hoe to do.

    But play around with the settings or visit some sites support Opera

  • Satellite P305-S8828 touchpad lose the scroll function

    My touchpad (Alps ver. 7.0.302.8) loses scrolling periodically when switching between web sites in Firefox.
    Under "mouse properties" graph no activity for the scroll activity.

    He usually highlites the chart when I touch the touchpad scroll area. I am the latest driver, but have not tried to remove & put it back, again. Anyone know if it's probably a problem of Vista (Vista Home Premium SP1) or the Alps driver problem?
    Also, sometimes I lose my pointer, as the speed settings, during his waking from sleep. Not sure about the exact conditions when it goes well.

    I saw a problem with my card wireless is not recognized after after sleep.
    To do this, I have to restart the computer & device is reinstalled.
    The problem with the touchpad is not moved for the first 2 weeks of use, but the problem of wireless adapter started the day 2 or 3.

    Oh, BTW, I also have a Logitech (ver. 4.24.28.0) installed mouse & driver Wacom (1.2.2.0) installed.
    I can do without the Wacom being installed at the beginning, but I don't want to install the Logitech mouse driver.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks, kev

    Hey kev

    We can chat about it only if you use the image settings or the factory of recovery. You have installed third party driver and the responsibility of Toshiba stops there. No one knows if there is a negative influence to driver preinstalled Toshiba.

    If you want to have the full functionality of the touchpad, use Toshiba stuff only. But if you want to use an external device with own driver or software you have to live with it.

  • Satellite L500-164 - has the touchpad scrolling feature?

    Hello
    I am interested in buying the laptop L500-164.

    Can someone tell me if this phone has a touchpad with scroll function?
    And so, only the page down, or "from left to right?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes, the Satellite L500 supports virtual scrolling.

    But that's why you need the driver for the touchpad, this feature is software based on other laptops. It is not a problem because the driver is already preinstalled and more you can download on the page of Toshiba. :)

    Fun with a new Satellite L500. A friend bought me too and it s really great and the price is also good.
