How Do You Turn The Scroll On For A Laptop?
The scroll function on a laptop computer allows you to use the touch pad for vertical scrolling in the same way a mouse wheel works with the cursor on the screen. The touch pad on a laptop can scroll horizontally as well. Turning on this function in Windows XP is similar to activating it for most Windows-based systems used on laptops, but adjustments will vary depending on the specific operating system. Step 1 Click the “Start” button in the left bottom corner. Click “Control Panel.” Step 2 Click “Printers and other hardware” from the listed categories on the control panel page. Step 3 Click the “Mouse” icon from the list of selections on the printers and other hardware page. Step 4 Click the “Advanced” tab on the mouse properties box. Click “Advanced feature settings.” Step 5 Click the “Touch Pad” tab on the advanced feature settings box. Click a check mark into the box next to “Use Scroll function” under Touch Pad settings.
