Synaptics touchpad scroll doesn't work on many applications
- by Juliana Pena
The Synaptics touchpad in my new laptop doesn't scroll at all in a number of applications, including Steam and Zune.
I've narrowed the problem down to Synaptics not sending mouse wheel messages, but rather manipulating scroll bars.

Windows 7 64-bit
Dell XPS 14
Latest Synaptics driver
(have tried both from Synaptics and
Dell)
My Synaptics options window looks like this and I've tried moving all the options to no avail:
