Hi aslbow,

Follow below mentioned steps to change the settings:

  • Click "Start" (or the Windows logo button in Vista and Windows 7) and select "Control Panel." Select "Classic View" in Vista if not already displayed. Double click "Mouse."
  • You may also access "Mouse Properties" in Vista and Windows 7/Vista by clicking the Windows logo and typing "Mouse" in the search box. Press "Enter," then click "Mouse" when the search is finished.
  • Select the "Hardware" tab. Select the touchpad and click "Properties." Click "Change Settings" if the settings aren't displayed.
  • Click the "Device Settings" tab in Windows 7 and select the touchpad. Click "Settings."
  • Click "Virtual Scrolling" in the touchpad properties window. Click the boxes next to each "Enable Scrolling" box and click "OK." Scrolling is now turned on for your touchpad.

Also, update the touch pad drivers on the computer from the below mentioned link:

I have provided a link for touchpad drivers download:

Click “Download File” and save the file on desktop.

Double click the file and follow the onscreen instructions.

If the issue persists, check the status of touch pad in safe mode (restart the computer and tap F8 on dell logo) .Select Safemode and try using the touchpad.

Awaiting your response !
