hmm, interesting, i've never had that problem with my laptop. Have you checked the setting for the touchpad? Maybe something got changed. If not, yea try restarting, thats an easy fix for a lot of things ;)

ok, to get to the settings for the touch pad, go to your control panel. Then hardware/hardware and sound. Then one of the next options should be mouse, open that and look in there, see what you find.

using the scroll pad on games never worked for me. I always had to reprogram the function to the keyboard, like in shipsim for example.

check if there is dirt in the mouse pad and clean it out if there is but thats all i can think of

Hi Trains.

I think I know what this is. What make & model number is your laptop/pc?
