For some reason or another , one of the functions on my vaio laptop mousepad has disapeared, i used to be able scroll the page up and down by moving my finger along the right hand side of the mousepad , like you would with the wheel on a standard mouse. i guess i must have mistakenly changed the settings? If anybody can help it would be much appreciated,cheers.

This can happen after installing an external mouse, especially if it is connected via the PS/2 port.

Have a look at your ‘mice and other pointing devices’, in Device Manager. If you have a PS/2 pointing device listed then all should be OK, but if there is a standard PS/s mouse listed then right click on this, select uninstall and then scan for hardware changes. This should discover the touchpad and install the correct drivers.

Device manager can be found by right clicking My computer, selecting properties, then select the hardware tab, you should see device manager there.

Click device manager then you will see mice and other pointing devices
