Hey,

Just noticed something very odd with both my netbook and my dad's laptop! After installing the latest Synaptics drivers for Vista, you get all the nifty features like touch scrolling, tap zones etc. However the driver seems to "kill" the bottom strip of the touchpad (where you tap to horizontal scroll), and all *vertical* movement is not registered.

Give it a go by keeping your finger along the bottom of the pad and making tiny circles - the pointer only moves left and right! On my dad's laptop this isn't an issue, but my netbook touchpad is tiny and this glitch kills the responsiveness!

I've tried removing the horizontal scroll zone, and disabling touch scrolling to no effect :( Is there any way around this?!

Cheers,

Suman
