Synaptics touchpad scroll doesn't work on many applications

After almost two years, I FINALLY found the solution!!

As explained in this article, it's as simple as editing the registry and adding a DWORD at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPEnh with name UseScrollCursor and value 0 and restarting SynTPEnh.exe.

This fixed the problem in Steam and Zune flawlessly, with both edge scrolling and two-finger scrolling.


There is a suggestion in this thread :

The problem imho is not caused by the driver, but it's the SynTPEnh.exe, which is responsible for the scrolling and other features (kill the process in TaskManager, and two finger scrolling won't work an more in any application).

If you manage to run this tool with elevated privileges, two finger scrolling should work even for applications that were started as administrator.

One way to do this is to create a task in the task scheduler, that will start SynTPEnh.exe with highest privileges at logon.

Question: Did you install drivers from Toshiba's website? Or did you let Windows 7 automatically install the drivers?
