Windows 8 touchpad scrolling

My laptop is an Acer M5-481PT-6488 model. But you can't change the reverse scrolling option! Only then, ELAN will work and will start after reboot. So you have to install the regular Synapsis driver first, and after that you have to install ELAN's driver. I want to say that I updated to Windows 8.1 then I went to Acer's web site and updated BIOS plus all available drivers.Īfter doing all that - the problem descibed occured.Īlso if you install the regular Synapsis software last (after ELAN) - ELAN won't work at all. You can only disable the 2-finger scrolling altogether, which I won't do.

With the latest version of ELAN - it is greyed out and you can't choose. With the old version - it let you check or uncheck this option so you had a choice - have a reverse for the scrolling or not have it. This latest update to ELAN has the reverse option always ON and is greyed out and you cannot unclick it, so I am stuck with using reverse scrolling (with 2 fingers) everywhere - in the browser and in apps. It is the same one you mention here - version 11.6.27.201 for Windows 8.1 64 -bit.

I am having the same issue - I have the latest ELAN driver which I downloaded and installed from the Acer web site.
