    As the title says, I reformatted my laptop the other day, but now my mousepad sidescroll option doesn't work. What to do?

    Did you install the drivers for the touchpad?

    The windows default driver usually (in my 6 laptop experience) does not support sidescroll, you have to dump the usually always the additional drivers on top, which is the symnatics (i forgot the exactl spelling) on it.

    Go to your laptop manufacturer's website and download the touchpad drivers. That is clearly the issue here.

    Any driver w/ Synaptics next to it should be it.

    Aside from the drivers solution did you see any full screen vids after reformatting? For some odd reason my scroll shuts down after watching a vid on/offline in full screen. To fix it, I just open a directory with lots of files and go up and down selecting the files with the arrow keys. Silly really but it works...

    I suppose I didn't, although I figured it would have been one of the drivers I installed with drivers CD. I'll try going to the manufacturer's website.

    And to the above poster, it doesn't happen after I watch a video full screen, just doesn't work.
