Try this solution xp pro, and vista
At command prompt, or run box
taskkill /im SynTPEnh.exe

This leaves SynTPEnh in a limbo state (still running), but scroll starts working in firefox. Flat out terminating SynTPEnh.exe stops scrolling from working in anything.
Tested on:
WindowsXP SP3- Synaptics v10.2.4 FF3
Vista SP2- Synaptics V 12.2.4.1 FF 3.5

XP home doesn’t have taskkill. Download nircmd http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
Place executables in windows folder, use the following command:
nircmd closeprocess SynTPEnh.exe

have you try uninstall the driver first and then install the new driver?

it could be a hardware problem too, try download ubuntu live cd and see if the problem still persist in ubuntu, than i can say that the touchpad is broken

I have the same problem.
That is, the synaptics touchpad scrolling is intermittent.
I tried the space bar on the side of the window, but no help.
I tried maximizing the window, no help.
I have downloaded 3 different synaptics drivers, no help.
The touchpad scrolling works just fine in IE8.

when you go back to “normal” screen you need to click somewhere on the side in the window and press the space bar a few times. space bar scrolls for you and then virtual scrolling also starts working again. someone on youtube posted this solution but i can’t find the link now. hope it helps, it works for me every time and i’ve tried everything!

My scrolling loses functionality in firefox when viewing online video at full screen. When I return to normal size it stops working. Pressing Ctrl Alt Del and bring up the task manager gets it working again. Any fix? I have the latest synaptic driver

I have the same problem. The scrolling function works sometimes and then stops working for no apparent reason.

I downloaded the new driver to no avail. Did you find a solution?

That fixed the same problem for me. Thanks. Synaptics website was horribly slow but it did work (it took about 3 min to load a page on my fast internet conection.)
