Loss of scrolling after MS updates

[Stratman]

I downloaded and installed the updates for Windows 7 (64bit) today, and have now lost the virtual scrolling on the Synaptics touchpad, where you can scroll through a screen by sliding your finger along the edge of the pad.

Is it just me, or has anyone else found this?

Any solutions?

I let Windows search for a new driver on the interweb, but it decided the existing one is the most suitable, although there is a higher-numbered version available on the Symantec website.


The existing driver is V11.something, V14.something is on their website.

Of course I meant Synaptics, not Symantec.

The 'edit' button seems to have vanished from my post

Update (see what I did there?)

I uninstalled the new updates and the scrolling function returned. I then reinstalled the updates one by one, checking for scrolling each time, and with all the updated reinstalled scrolling still works

That's Microsoft for you

scrolling is normally taken care of by a utility or driver, the updates probably knocked it out originally. Seen similar behavior in XP. Thought Win 7 was better at keeping apps in their own memory spaces though.
