fingers on the TouchPad at the same time as described in the following sections.
The TouchPad gestures described in this section are enabled at the factory. To disable or reenable
these gestures:

click the Device Settings tab.
2. Select the device, and then click Settings.

far right of the taskbar, and then click the Device Settings tab. Select the device, and then click

Scrolling
Scrolling is useful for moving up or down on a page or image. To scroll, place two fingers slightly apart
on the TouchPad and drag them across the TouchPad in an up, down, left, or right motion.
NOTE: Scrolling speed is controlled by finger speed.
