Laptop won't scroll vertically?

[Suicide Bobb 5,000+ posts]

I just got this laptop from 90accordman, everything works great. He reformatted the computer before he sent it to me per my request. By doing that reset, I believe it also reset the trackpad settings and now I can't vertically scroll (meaning in order to scroll down the page, I have to click and drag the scroll bar at the far right of the webpage). I tried to go to control panel -> Mouse -> Hardware -> Change Settings, and there's no tab for "virtual scrolling" like there should be.

I tried uninstalling the device, which prompted me to restart the computer, and still nothing. I also tried to update the driver, and there was nothing to update. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help? MoT? Faulkton? Nateberrier?

Usually if its a synaptics driver you just go to the manufacturer of the pc's website,look for that particular model and download the synaptics drivers...then when you go to mouse and hardware settings you should get a tab as such...

Which will by default set to allow vertical scrolling. Usually the touchpad will work out of the box with a fresh install. But without the synaptics driver you wont get thhe full functionality (such as vertical and side scroll...and other crap)
