I have a compaq presario 1500 laptop with XP home SP2 1gig ram.
Under the Touch Pad there is a round scroll button and it STOPPED working.
I went to compaq.com and microsoft.com but I'm obviously not getting to the right place for this problem.
Is there a KB fix for this or can you recommend the DOWNLOAD fix to get this button working again?
I have to move cursor to the right and grab the bar everytime I need to scroll down a page.
Please help me out.
Thanks!Have you tried to reinstall the drivers?


GoHere
Thanks for your time!
I went to device manager and I guess it would be under the mouse properties and drive to update and roll back the driver but that is not the problem.
I remember years ago someone sent me a link from here that gave me a PATCH of sorts. Something to do with the keyboard ps/2 thing. I just can't remember what it was. But when I went to the link and downloaded the patch the scroll button really worked fine. Not sure where to go from here.

Truth is I have another laptop that I just bought and it's already down. It's an ACER with Vista and I'll never ever buy one again. I was actually on the computer when I called ACER tech Support about a screen ISSUE. 10 minutes later the woman had my computer completely useless. I'm really having to take my anxiety meds to keep from freaking out. I wouldn't recommend ACER to anyone.

I take Tranxene..What do you take ?

I am presently downloading and reading
the manual......Let me see what it has to
say.

Do you have a small on/off button for
the scroll function?Alprazolam and it works well for me. But this scroll button issue is annoying. I just got back from Microsoft but have found anything about scroll button not working. I do want to get the word out about how I got screwed by ACER and save people from the nightmares.
If you can help me get this button working until I can get my other laptop back in force. This Compaq Presario 1500 is old and the USB ports don't work, the PCI slot is busted, so the only way I can get on line is to attach it to the ethernet line which defeats the purpose of having a laptop not to mention I hate having to be attached to a leash.
Thanks again for your time. I hope that someone can get me the patch I need.
