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

10 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!!!!!!

NHSuzanne - I usually poke the h*ll out my baked potatoes, because the exact same thing happened to me once, only it exploded in the microwave! Hope Sweet Pea continues to improve. Is your electric back on? I just bought some peanut butter and jelly to have on hand. I started eating the Smuckers natural peanut butter and now I can't eat any other kind. I love peanut butter on apples, bananas or English muffins. I just read that the tsunami missed Hawaii. Thank goodness. Those poor people in Chile. I have a cold and my back is aching for various reasons. So I confess that I slid off the wagon (felt sorry for myself) and ate some junk this week. I will have to start over with the stars. :~( At least I refrained from buying anything junky at the store today. We got another 6 inches yesterday and it has been snowing all day. But at least the snow today isn't sticking to the roads. February 2010 is now officially the snowiest February in Pennsylvania since they started keeping track of the weather. Marci Marci

Donna I'll trade you 17cm of snow for your rain. Just up from a good sleep, one coffee and going out for my first bout of shoveling snow. At least our plow guy has been round and did as much as he could. Our neighbor across the street has a snowblower and will spend most of his weekend outside clearing folks drive around us. He did ours but would not take any money towards his efforts and machine - so we got a contractor. Knowing the forecast I picked up 2 beers and I'm going to make him a batch of his favorite cookies and drop them off for when he does finally get indoors. (I did have 2 beers last night - but they were counted into the day - it's a weakness so I only buy the individual cans. In the summer I buy cases of non-alcoholic beer. Beer goes straight to my hips if I don't.) I'm not keeping any cookies that I bake at all. Oh yea, the city plow is going buy now...there goes Steve again doing the drives...he really deserves something. YankandTex could I visit and enjoy your heat for awhile? Maybe we could all pop round and have an afternoon on the patio and have a group day together! Keep talking about your warmth - I need the mental pictures! Ta. Milkdud I'd like to know more about Aubrie because I'm new. What is her illness? I'd like to send positive thoughts to her and family. Shopping for kids is great - always wound up with everything in my cart for nieces and nephews. Marci be careful with that ice. Yikes. We had a horrific ice storm in 1998 - I'm scarred with fear now when ice storms hit. Bought ice grips for my footwear and always keep them with my winter gear now. Sounds like a good weekend to chill out. Yesterday I was over points but still within my bonus range so I should be okay. I will be posting often because participating in this forum helps me stay focussed on being a good girl. Besides, any excuse to hang out and chat, make new friends is wonderful. It's movie, quilting, shoveling and meal planning day for me. Hunkering down. All I see out my front window is snowbank - it's now taller than I am! Cheers, McPeg

Katy, Sure hope you enjoy that new Wireless Keyboard/Mouse. What Brand did you buy? I've always liked the Logitech Line the best. I started with the original Logitech 3 Button Wireless Mouse (still have it). My first Wireless Keyboard (not sure of the brand name) was Infrared and it was horrible, had to have it pointing towards the receiver at all times. I have the MX5500 Combo hooked up to my Desktop Computer right now, best Logitech has ever made (it's Bluetooth and has a great range)(very pricey, think it cost me around $170)! Once you've tried Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Combos you'll never go back! BTW, Windows 10 Updates are nothing to worry about. They've been coming for many, many years and will continue to come. I've had a couple minor problems, but really nothing to get excited about. I have Windows 10 on 5 Laptops, 1 Desktop and 1 Tablet, all running great! It's good that Microsoft is staying on top of any problems! When there are just so many different varieties of computers out there with so many different components, you really just have to wonder how they don't have more problems then they do? You've really got to give them credit! Since you're going to Buy a New All-In-One Desktop, I'd just go ahead and get it with Windows 10 Preinstalled! I'm sure there won't be any problems with a New Computer w/Windows 10. Most of the problems are with Older Computers that are being Upgraded to Windows 10 and the older software that's already installed.

Lea, The SSD Drive on that Laptop is only 16gb. The SSD Drive is the Hard Drive (Storage Space). Memory is a totally different thing (RAM Random Access Memory). Your computer uses RAM when your doing things on the computer. Once you turn the computer off, the RAM dumps whatever you were working on (this is why you should Save your Projects before shutting it down). A Hard Drive (in your case an SSD Drive) is where that information would be saved. I believe the Specs I looked at showed you had 4gb RAM, that should be okay for now. The SSD Drive was only 16gb, which you could burn thru quickly. Some, but not all computers can be upgraded easily (not sure about yours). It could be a possibility the SSD Drive could be upgraded to a larger SSD Drive. I would advise you have this done at a computer shop if you've never done anything like this before. Sounds like you can use 100gb of Cloud Space for Free for the first 2 years. After the 2 years there will most likely be a small fee to use the space. Each Cloud is different and may charge a little differently. You could save a lot of stuff in this Cloud Space, Pictures, Videos, Music, Movies, etc... As for the SD Slot, I believe the Specs I looked at showed this computer has an SD Slot. Check around the edges of the Laptop, most have a Mock SD Card in the Slot that needs to be removed for use (keeps the Dirt Out). After using the SD Drive I'd reinsert the Mock SD Card for safety. You can put his photos on a USB Flash Drive and view them any time you want by plugging the USB Flash Drive into an open USB Port. Storage is all up to you. You can: Increase the SSD Drive Size Use the 100gb Cloud Space Use an SD Card Use a USB Flash Drive This is where I can't help you a lot. I'm not sure how you access Files and Folders on the Chrome OS. I'm sure there has to be an APP for Viewing Files and Folders (you may have to be downloaded the APP, not sure). I did find out that I can Download and Install the Chrome OS on any computer for Free. I may do this in the future (gotta' find some free time) just so I'm able the help Chrome Users better! I've never used the Chrome OS and have never worked on a Chromebook Computer (yet).

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

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!
