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.)

I have a HP pavilion with a synaptics scrollpad and the problem is that it works - intermittently. Sometimes I’ll lose it, and I have to open up the synaptics device settings, and “reboot” it (Device Settings, Settings, Virtual Scrolling, Scrolling Region, and just touch the scroll pad and make sure it “lights up green”). After that, it’s fine again.

But, I will dl the new driver and see how it goes…

Hi Nerd,

I download the driver from this web page: http://www.synaptics.com/support/drive.cfm

I’ve actually done just what you suggested following a recommendation on another website, however the scroll button still doesn’t work in FireFox
