I cant scroll on my mouse pad on my lapto[ - Toshiba Satellite A305-S6834 Notebook

Disconnect the mouse from the computer and turn it upside down. The screws to disassemble the mouse are under the pads on the bottom of the mouse. When you disassemble the mouse, you will find that the scroll wheel axle is gummed up, and the interruptor wheel is probably dirty. Use an old tooth brush and alcohol to clean the scroll wheel components, and let the components dry. You can use glue to re-attach the pads after you have reassembled the mouse.

To access Mouse Properties, select Start - Control Panel - Hardware and Sound -Mouse.

Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button configuration, click speed, and pointer options.

HI
IS THAT THE MOUSE PAD WORKING BEFORE
I THINK IS THAT PROBLEME COME FROM YOUR LAPTOP
TRY TO RESTOR YOUR YTEM

old DV5-1150us.
vista , vista is good, but not supported, XP is 100x worse..
monitor , you mean the screen, and the Vista mouse is acting wrong. (correct?)
the only word above useful are vista and SCROLLING
not photos posted of the IMAGE on screen wrong.

try a real USB mouse yet, to see if a real mouse works.
that be first. if only SCROLLING FAILS.
this PC can be connected to a real VGA monitors.
see that 15pin jack on the back, if you use a real monitor as test
we can see if the screen internal has problems.

i cant see what you see, and this is like 1000 times more important
a picture is worth a 1000 words. see?
cell phone camera dead? cant send a photo here.
see below here (see icon blue "Photos" one of the most easy forum on earth to post a photo here.....

my guess is your screen is bad.
to prove that attach any disktop screen to VGA Jack.
if the laptop pad is bad, mouse pad use any USB mouse made
plug it in and see if a real mouse works, can be bought for $3 a real mouse on fleabay or borrow one.

Sometimes there is a setting, under mouse, in the control panel. But also there is a time based issue, you need to stop while pressing in the scroll area, and the mouse shifts from mousing to scrolling. Duration of time, and first touch to the pad in the scroll area are keys.

Hello

OK, all you need to do is to hold down the "Ctrl" button on your keyboard. While you hold down the key, you need to scroll with your mouse button, If you have an external mouse plugged in, you just need to scroll with the middle mouse button. If you use the mouse pad on the laptop, the left side on the pad is usually the scroll function.

So...Just to be clear. Open your web browser. Hold down the "Ctrl" key on scroll up or down with your scroll function.

Hope this can be of help. Also, please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind regards
Andrea

what OS, XP? operating system? is it?
using only one mouse? the built in mouse pad or it and a plugin mouse at USB port? or external wireless mouse.
we cant see what you have there, nor what are are using now.

if the PC is not infected.
click control panel, the click mouse icon there, bingo change mouse actions.
or reload the HP mouse driver.

Scroll on mouse pad may not be a "default" factory setting. Go to Control Panel and access Mouse Settings and look for this feature and activate it.

If this does not work then go to Gateway Website and look for SOFTWARE AND DRIVER DOWNLOADS ., Select your model and Operating System and look for MOUSE. Select Moust Driver Download and RUN and reinstall driver.

If both do not work than your mouse pad has to be replaced due to physical issue

hi boltfan,

what kind of mouse are you using?
how is the mouse connected to your computer?
