Dell Inspiron n5010 - Touchpad Problem!

[Mohegan]

I have a problem with the touchpad on my computer Dell Inspiron n5010. It was indeed working fine and I was able to move the mouse pointer on the screen but the section where you can scroll the pages down, call it the "wheel" did not work anymore, it worked before, but without doing anything, it has ceased to the function. I want to solve my problem as soon as possible. Can somebody help me to solve my problem.

Hi all, I had the same problem and I managed to solve it; you must go to the Control Panel, then "Mouse "(modify the parameters of buttons), then " Settings feature" and click on the "Settings" box and go on "Virtual Travel" and then check the box to "Enable vertical scrolling" or "Enable horizontal scrolling".
