Hmmmm...can't "scroll" thru sites anymore on laptop?!?!!?

11 years ago

WTH?!?!

My Del Inspiron laptop has decided that it won't scroll thru web-pages now! I can fling the pointer around with 1 fingertip like normal, but can't "fling" a page up & down now!!

So now...to make a page move vertically, I've gotta aim the pointer in the manual scroll-bar.

Any ideas?

Restart your computer would be the first thing to try. Then maybe Dell support and download and reinstall the touchpad driver next.

No luck...

* Tried installing DELL's update driver, for my computer, from their site.

* Had their support-system scan my computer, but nothing found.

* I'm out of warranty...I wonder if this is part of it?

* Can't find anything with answers on their Dell communities forums.

* Tried FOUR times to install their Touchpad update, but it "Fails" every time.

* They have a "Log" I can read of the failure, but it's Greek to me!

* I can't open "Device-Manager" either, & I'm logged-on as full-permission Administrator!!!! Arrrggh!

* Copy of the log: Probably shows my multiple Install attempts!!! Thanks for ANY help!!!!!!

Thanks to bpgreen and Raven, I am now sitting here with my beautiful laptop dream machine! Yep! I am up and running fine now. My server must have been working on their end or the weather caused me to get knocked off so much when I first tried being on the net with that external modem. I thought it was the modem but it is working fine! "LUV" ya all for help making my dream come true. Seeing I am not getting knocked off, I DL'd some programs which only got half done before when getting knocked off. Audacity for one. Got my spyware and virus programs from my flashdrive. Now for the goodies, huh? Bless you all. I have to get to bed now. This is the latest being up on the puter for me! Can't blame me for basking in no disconnects. "LOL" Good night. Hugs, Urlee PS: Sorry you all can't see this beautiful laptop. LOVE the fact I can ZOOM to make the fonts larger for reading and typing just by using the % drop down on the bottom right on Windows 7 here.

Tikanis here reporting from So. Cal where it is slightly overcast and cool this morning : ) This has been a great week. My DS has found a way to computerize ALL of my paperwork and if accepted by the agencies I contract with, will save me HOURS and HOURS each and every week! I am so excited that I can hardly stand it! Today was my check in and I am now just under 16 lbs from my goal! I have added biking to my work out, something that I really enjoy, so it won't be long now... I am preparing a few meals today for a church member who just had surgery. This afternoon DS and I are doing a bit of shopping and getting our nails done. Tonight I have my first "Date" since the wheel was invented ha ha! That's right, I am going to see if there is life out there after 5 years of widowhood. I am scared to death. Please send good thought. I need them. : ) Tikanis

A lot has happened around here in a short time. Wodka - ((((HUGS)))) to you and your sister. I think of you often. Dee - ((((HUGS)))) you have been through way too much lately. In September I am going to NJ and will try to hook up with you at some point - so I can give you a hug in person. Marci - ((((HUGS)))) to you as well. I had to redo my pap once and it is unnerving. When will you have the results? I hope you have fun with your friend at the Shaker Woods fair today. Besh - thank you for your kind words. I do enjoy painting, as frustrating as it can be at times LOL. I just sold the one you like, Wednesday night. It was my largest piece to date. I also sold the boat on Saturday. Both of my top money pieces - now I need to paint more LOL. We have the fly problem on the boat as well. My family thought I had lost it the other day. I was all set for a nice peaceful time on the lake with a book in hand and those little buggers just appeared from nowhere. I got up with a towel and just started swatting and screaming. Like you said, you take off and they stay right with you. We have had them before, but they are relentless this year. Sorry to hear about DIL grandmother, but glad they will be with you. Milkdud - I am so happy that things are working out with you in your new neighborhood. It sounds like you are going to be very involved socially very soon. My daughter has been using the TX mug you sent me. I hope it isn't missing when she leaves LOL. Patti - Blueberry muffins sound great - my DH can BBQ and reheat food (and sometimes that is questionable) but he really can't cook at all. Which is fine for me, since I like to cook - he gets clean-up duty. BJ - come out, come out, wherever you are.... Suzanne - enjoy your time out on the high seas. I love our lake and it is plenty big (32 miles long), but there is something about being out on the ocean that is so special and I know you are going out there in style. Donna - Are you still working out? I am down to twice a week, but do try to get cardio in on most of the other days - I have to admit I haven't been living up to my expectations lately. I did get it in today and I moved it up on my priority list. McPeg - Marci was nice enough to post some of my paintings on her photo site. If you need the address let me know. I will have to privately email it to you. QOD #1 - I'm with Marci. I always thought how cool it would be to be Samantha from Bewitched. QOD #2 - Busy with DD's visit, hope to get a little lake time in and a nice dinner tonight to celebrate DH birthday. Hugs to all that need them and even if you don't. Make the best of today.

Hi again, One thing I've noticed about down times is that for me they don't last forever. Some years ago, when I got into a painful space, I started looking at the clock with the intent of timing how long it lasted. Somehow just knowing that such times have a beginning and an end was helpful to me in gaining perspective. One reason I don't spend as much time here as I used to is that I started another forum. It's different from this one,but it was created to be a safe place for some people, too, who were having trouble on other forums with people fighting and not being family-friendly. It takes a fair amount of time to keep up. I'm not sure how many visitors we get from here, but no one posting, and I think for the same reason I post here less - we run out of hours in the day. And then there are the health problems and physical pain and all. Maybe I can start sharing some of the things here. People might even get interested, lol, and it would be a way to keep up my contact here more than I have been. Among other things,we have threads for beautiful imagery. I enjoy that, being an artist. Or maybe it's that I'm an artist because I enjoy that. Below is the link to some images that I posted this morning on the reflection thread. When you get there, click on the box that says "click here to view a picture." For anyone with dial-up, you might want to skip numbers 3, 4, and 5, as they take a long time to load. Just try the first two and the last three. We have a story thread, too, where people add their sentences to create a story, and a person who does sand sculpture. We have a cute pictures thread, which I'm sure some of you would enjoy. I'll add to that later today and share it here, too. I got the pics I'm sharing today fro a stock exchange site. I have a lot of struggles, and joys, too, but I've got to the place where I'm too tired and ill to try to share it all. I need to work on other things, like the paintings and art site and such. That's why I dropped out of the Christmas and birthday exchanges, too. I can't keep it all up. At least I'm still here :) Here is a link that might be useful: Reflections

I would Uninstall the Device in Device Manager.

Start> Control Panel> System> Device Manager> Mice and Other Pointing Devices

Right Click on your Touchpad or Mouse< whichever isn't working, choose Uninstall

Restart Windows and let Windows reinstall the Device!

If you cant open DeviceManager something else may need fixing before you do too much

Might try system file checker - from command prompt (admin)

SFC /ScanNow

Nothing found on the SFC scan. Ran it TWICE...b4 I did a system-restore...and a while after.
CANNOT access/open Device-Manager no matter what I try.

Try CheckDisk on the file system... from command prompt (admin)

ChkDsk /F

other ways to get device manager access is from a run line or command prompt

devmgmt.msc
compmgmt.msc

You can download a generic driver from Synaptics ?? If its a Synaptics touch pad. A popular synaptics version some seem to require.. slightly older version than on the synaptics webpage . IF Synaptics !!!

Nothing works.
The chkdsc /F runs, but says "F switch not recognized", & that it's running in read-only mode. I used the "space" before the /F also.

I just can't seem to view the actual devices!!!

Unless I missed it, have you tried Device Manager and any other failures in Safe Mode?

The coincidence is interesting, as I had this exact same problem with my Win7 Asus Zenbook last night. I was web surfing and found the pointer/touchpad would only let me scroll the bar on the right. The pointer would go a bit crazy on most web pages, and normal scrolling produced jerkiness on the web page being scrolled....my touchpad was working but not properly...
On my Zenbook I found that a Windows update had been installed in the background. There were about 20 update files installed, and several of them seemed to have the same file name. I suspected that Windows update had made some sort of mistake. I spent about an hour last night uninstalling the updates and resetting windows so updates would not install without asking me first. This cured it.
Also just want to mention I did not use "restore" back to an earlier time point. I also found I had to turn off my router to prevent windows from instantly/automatically reinstalling the updates. Once I reset the update preferences on the laptop I turned the router back on....everything has been normal since...hope this helps.

The "Dell pointing devices software" panel that opens when I click "Dell Touchpad" in control-panel is called:

"Glidepoint touchpad & software provided by Alps Electric Co., ltd."

v.7.1209.101.215

I can choose 2-finger scrolling & save it, but nothing changes!!!

I downloaded a slightly newer driver from Dell (described above), but it doesn't install...keeps saying "Installation failed".

No...haven't tried getting into Device-Mgr from safe-mode.

Thanks!

Faron
