I have a new Acer Aspire V5 (purchased from Acer). I installed Windows 8 in it as been recommended by Acer. Problem is the scrollbar of the touchpad is not working.

I have downloaded synaptic driver from Synaptic web page, also downloaded the Synaptic Driver, ElanPad touchdriver from acer website, nothing is working.

I also went to device manager and uninstalled the pointing device driver, and then updated it from, it does not seem to work.

In the meantime I installed Ubuntu on it, I did not have a problem with the scrollbar in Ubuntu.

Any ideas what else I can do?

  • And are you sure your model is compatible? It just sounds like the drivers do not exist for your version (model) with W8. However, if it was Acer who sold it to you, then you need to get back in touch with them.

  • Did you update all drivers (including the chipset)? Either way, you have confused me. You said Windows 8 came from the dealership. You now say you had a copy from your college?

It turns out Acer Aspire is following two finger continuous gesture . Simply by scrolling with two fingers will allow to scroll up and down . This feature is akin to that of Macbook ; even though I haven't used one . But this is definitely different from the last laptop Windows laptop I have used .
