Is there a way to turn off the auto scrolling on the side of the touchpad? on my particular toshiba, there is no bar on the side of the touchpad to indicate that you are close to the scroll and i hit it accidentally all the time! is there any way to disable that particular function?
Go to the Classic view of Control Panel...click on Mouse...click on Device Settings...click on the Settings button..it will bring up a new window about Synaptics....click on Virtual Scrolling. Un-click the horizontal and vertical scrolling button and click Apply down at the bottom and it is disabled. YAY!

Thank you so much. I absolutely could not stand auto scroll. It is off now.
my computer does the same thing but it doesnt have a virtual scrolling thing to click on. it only says scrolling but when i click that there is no horizontal and vertical scrolling button
Thanks. I was about to toss my otherwise wonderful new laptop.
Wooo Hoo
I was thinking I had dreamed being able to turn it off/on.
IT's REALITY!!!! Thanks from a frustrated fool!

I hear 'auto-scroll' is a feature by default. I'm not sure what kind of Toshiba you have, but from my experience they can be touchy. If you don't use an external mouse (which I suggest a wireless usb ,you can usually find them on sale or at least pretty reasonable) you might try going into control panel, then printers and faxes folder, clicking on the mouse icon or properties, from there you should be able to disable auto-scroll completely or at least turn down the sensitivity. If all else fails , the Fn + the f9 key I think enables/disables the touch-pad for a external mouse. If this helps, please rate me, thanks.Good luck. :)
