pavilion DV7 scroll does not work on my padSolved/Closed

Question

Hello,
  I have almost given up hope.... but I'm hoping you can help.  Everything on my new pavilion DV7 works great except the scroll bar on my mouse pad has stopped working even though my mouse still works fine.  Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?  Or more importantly how to fix it?  Thanks much in advance for any suggestions.

After Windows updated the synaptics software had this problem.

I was able to resolve this issue by doing the following.

In the control panel go into the Mouse settings. Choose the tab for Device Settings (has red icon to left) and go into settings.

The option to choose is Virtual Scrolling and make sure tick is in the box for Enable vertical scrolling.

Hope this resolves your problem.

First go to windows update   and see if windows update produces and update for SYNAPTICS POINTING DEVICE IF SO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL . Second if not there go too start control panal mouse icon click on it once there go too HARDWERE tab and then too PROPERTIES see if  U have and update driver option if so click on it an update DRIVER TAB FOR ur mouse pad AND UPDATE THAT WAY.

Click the windows link or start circle and type "mouse" in the search. Click the first option "mouse". Click Device Settings, and then click Settings.... Go to Scrolling and double click it. This opens a new window, click enable vertical scrolling, and enable horizontal scrolling. click okay, close window. click apply. Enjoy scroll option
