You might have to reset it
Most modern laptops with touchpads offer vertical scrolling, horizontal scrolling or both. These features are located along the right-hand and bottom edges of the touchpad, respectively, and are activated when you swipe your finger along the touchpad edge. Scrolling functionality is nearly always enabled by default, but some users find the feature an annoyance and elect to turn it off. In most cases you can simply turn the feature back on using the Windows Control Panel.

Click the Windows Start button, select "Settings," and then click "Control Panel." Double-click the icon labeled "Mouse." Select the Touchpad properties tab. The labeling of this tab varies, depending on your computer manufacturer, operating system version and the device drivers installed on your machine. Common labels include "Touch Pad," "Device Settings" and "Dell Touchpad." If you do not see this option, you may not be able to turn on scrolling for your laptop; skip the remaining steps and refer to the "Warnings" section below. Click the "Settings" button within the Touchpad Properties menu and look for the section labeled "Scrolling Settings" or similar. Enable scrolling within this section and define other scroll settings, such as scroll zone width and scrolling speed. Click "OK" to confirm your changes, and then close the Control Panel windows opened in the previous steps. The scrollbar on your laptop is now enabled.
Scroll Is Not Working With Windows 7 b> Certain computer touchpads have a vertical section on the pad itself that is used to scroll through the page or program window that you are currently viewing on your computer. If the scroll functionality suddenly stops working but the actual touchpad is still fine, this means that the part of the software for the device that controls the ability to use the scroll has been disabled. You can enable it again in the Control Panel.
Click "Start." Click "Control Panel." Click "Mouse." Select the "Enable Scroll" option (or whatever similarly named option is available on your specific model of laptop computer). Click "Apply." The scroll bar on your touchpad will now work again.

Mouse won't scroll when rolling the middle button up and down

Mouse movement is controlled by either the device drivers (look for updates) or the settings. Check you operating system settings for the mouse and see if they are up-to-date. Other than that, is the device drivers and computer settings are correct, the mouse middle control is defective. Try to alternate with another mouse and see if that happens when using an alternate device. That is the test for a defective mouse.

HP 2530p EliteBook - touchpad stopped working. Scrolling works except touch scrolling on right side of pad) and right button, but that's all. Wireless mouse works fine.

To access Mouse Properties, select Start - Control Panel - Hardware and Sound -Mouse.

Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button configuration, click speed, and pointer options.

My touch pad won't move the page up or down

First, look for an icon called "Synaptics Pointing Device" in the taskbar on the bottom right of your desktop. If it is there, right click it and go to options. From there, there should be an option for "Gestures" which will have an option to allow you to reenable scroll.

If you don't see that icon, you can try going to "Start">"Control Panel">"Mouse" and finding the option there.

If none of that seems to work, go to HP's support site, look up your model number, and download the associated Touchpad Driver.

What I'm trying to scroll, won't scroll as fast as I want it to.

If you click the start menu, then click control panel, and select mouse, you will get a pop up window, one of the tabs at the top of this window is 'wheel' there you will see an option to change the number of lines the wheel will scroll with each notch
hope this helps.
