Thanks! This was the contents of the file. The trackpad is still not working, so I will try to reload the driver now. Hope I don't mess it up!

Thanks. let me know if the driver fixes it.
deltalima
Let me know the make and model of the trackpad and I'll see what I can find.

It is the touchpad below the keyboard on the laptop. It is a Toshiba Satelite Pro machine. Does that help?

Plug in the external mouse.
Click on the start button (Windows orb), Right click on computer and select Manage
Click Device manager Then in the middle pane expand Mice and other pointing devices
Click on the touchpad (and note the exact name of the touchpad), right click then click properties, click on the Driver tab and make a note of the driver provider and version.
Click on the touchpad then right click and select uninstall
Now click on the computer at the top of the tree using the external mouse, right click and select Scan for hardware changes
The wording may be slightly different as I am using Windows 7 but the process is the same for Vista, let me know how it goes.

Ok, did that. When I restarted the computer automatically re-installed the driver (was it supposed to do that?). I tried to find a setting for the scroll function, but couldn't manage to. It still isn't working. Sorry, don't know what I'm doing wrong.

OK, let me know the driver provider and version and I'll look for a download link for the latest driver.

Go here click I agree and then download and run the executable. Then go to the screen in the screenshot and select Update Driver. Windows should find and install the new driver.
Our other option is to use System restore to go back several days.

I (hopefully correctly) did what you suggested. It still hasn't fixed the problem. I can't work out if there is a setting somewhere I have missed.
If I go back to a restore point then it would wipe out the fixes we ran, won't it?

Hi NotVeryTechie,
I have done some research into your trackpad, the settings to turn on the scroll wheel should be found under - Control Panel - Hardware - Mouse. Please check to see if it can be enabled from there.

Ok, I give up! Don't know what else to do. I tried your suggestion, but the options are greyed out. So I updated the driver yet again, and it still won't work. So frustrating.
