Opera browser and touchpad 1

[preachertom]

I loaded Opera 7 on my HP laptop (XP home edition) to check it out. It seems to be as quick as advertised, except for one problem (so far): the scroll function does not work. The touchpad works, but no scrolling. I have rebooted and checked scrolling in Word - it seems to work everywhere else as it should. Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem. According to the opera support message boards Opera 7 simply isnt compatible with touchpad scrolling. bummer huh? The same problem occurs with Mozilla as well.

Yeah - that is a bummer. I really like this version and might consider it as a replacement for IE. But - I am not willing to give up my touchpad for the sake of one program - and a major one at that! I think I will just hold out and see if they fix it. Any news on that?

Thanks - Tom

If you're using the Synaptics Touch Pad this process may work for you.

Open the SynTPEnh.ini file in the directory C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP
Find the entry labeled [Opera Browser] and replace it with:

[Opera Browser]
WT = "*Opera*"
SF = 0x10000000
SF |= 0x00004000

I found the idea for this solution on a German message board

Thanks for the tip. Once I rebooted, it works like it should!
